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.

looks like it definitely will be helpful...thanks. and i so understand what you mean about referencing your own hands. mine are pretty much the same. it's like they never changed from baby hands to young adult hands. the just proportionately grew. btw, any tips on differentiating between female hands and male?or is there not that much significant difference?

Qinni In reply to JessPeachee [2010-11-26 18:15:59 +0000 UTC]

...mine stopped growing since grade 6, I think lol. My little brother (who's 10 years younger than me D: ) has bigger hands *boo hoo*

Well, I think the manlier the hands, the stockier it should look....the finger tips more squared off, knuckles are bigger etc. Of course, there are a lot of men with feminen hands, so....xD;;

Awesome tips and amazing hands.

The bit on the knuckles and circles thing makes me oddly happy 'cause it always does something weird to my hands when I try to use circles to do them ♥
