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.

Extremely useful, especially the bit about not needing to draw out the structure of the hands (aka circles of knuckles). I'll definitely be trying out these techniques--thank you. : )

I love this tutorial. Not only are the references dynamic, they are also quite realistic as well, unlike a LOT of hand tutorials I've found.

My hands have never been realistic or even believable, but I think this will be a very helpful resource!

pittstop In reply to ??? [2010-11-26 18:16:22 +0000 UTC]

my hands are slowly getting better but are not very life like, this will be very useful to me for future reference. The tip about not using circles, I'd never have realised it made such a difference, but thinking about it it makes total sense.
