Description Well, actually, I did this because purplelemon ( ) asked me to. So here it is, a tutorial about hands. It's not the best in the world but it's a big help.

!!!HELPFUL HINT!!!
Generally speaking, the length of the hand from heel to finger tip is roughly the length of the face from chin to hairline. That should help with matching your hand size to body proportion!

No problem! It was upon request from a few of the people who follow my gallery and I decided that it really WAS something that needed to be done. And I'm glad to get a lot of positive feedback. You're not the only one who's said that about hand tutorials.

shigure-kisune In reply to Dias-Jean [2007-01-16 21:20:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I've found that in all my hand studies that this is the easiest way to actually tackle hands. They can sometimes end up a little too LARGE doing this. But better too-large than too-small hands as far as I'm concerned. It's more acceptable in art to have over-sized hands than tiny hands that make the arm look stumpy then. LOL
