Description Notes: I suggest drawing all the hands here (just for practice)....and see if you guys improve or not ;;. I feel like I improved just by compiling all these drawings xD.

Oh, and on another note, never try to hide the hands when drawing a picture. After all, forcing yourself to draw them on a body is the best way to practice ^^.

Finally, never be afraid to use references. Use your own hands if you must (unless your hands are like mine...fat and chubby and generally unappealing), or take a picture of someone's hand. Imagination and memory can only take the technical side of drawing to a certain point until you have drawing enough to master it.

-----------
Sorry, it's a bit big. These hands were compiled in a week's time through observing people and drawing hands in life-drawing . The shading's really rough, but hopefully it shows a bit more structure and how to shade the hand

Also, I'm not a professional (yet xD;; ), so there still may be mistakes in my drawing. but I tried my best ^^.

People has been asking me for a tutorial and I've been meaning to do one for...the longest time, ever.
I know there are a lot of hand tutorials out there, but since it's my favourite body part to draw, I though, "why not?". I personally can't get enough of looking at different tutorials on doing stuff, so....yah .



I hope it's helpful even a little. The references at the bottom are for everyone to look at and, well, reference, if need be.

Awesome! I never noticed the "fingers curl when hand is raised above wrist" thing. Thanks for pointing that out!

CalinnVojnngat [2010-11-27 21:33:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the tips, my hand's anatomy knowledge is so poor that I always need references! Hands and feet are the only things of the human body that I can't achieve by using just my imagination...I guess that's because I've always been to lazy to learn to draw them properly

Thanks for making this; it's both helpful and easy to follow. I find hands particularly tricky to draw, so this will be very useful.

Excellent! I've always used the knuckle method, but this is vastly simpler and actually better anatomically.

I find it helpful

I'm one of those people who try to hide the hands OTL. The fun fact is also cool, I never noticed, that the hand was behaving that way.
And thank you for the nice refs, I also don't like to draw my own unappeiling hand ^^"

ali-is-colourful In reply to ??? [2010-11-27 09:47:15 +0000 UTC]

the thumb type depends on genetics, for instance i have whats considered hitchhiker's thumb, where its more curvy on the last knuckle...so all that depends on the creator of the person

Qinni In reply to ali-is-colourful [2010-11-27 17:11:44 +0000 UTC]

yes, of course, but it's also good to keep in mind when drawing different people/characters .
