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.

Thank you for this ! if there's any rule to what begginer artists have problem with, the hands would be on the very top of the list! (And the feet, but I usually dont draw waist below pictures to avoid the failure ... =. This tutorial is incredibly helpful, and your right with one thing, drawing circles for knuckles certanly doesnt help to make a good stucture for the hand as the whole.

Wow. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

To be honest, I'm a hand-fetishist, yet at the same time am quite unable to draw hands properly. And I think after reading your tips, I might dig deeper into the matter and try my best. It looks quite easy when you do it^^

So, thanks again, I think you did a great job with this!
