Sept 2007, Bic on Xerox PaperAnd then he went crazy and drew his hand over and over...
For anyone who carries through with the lessons, feel free to post them, I won't cry foul for copying, etc. So long as you don't post it as your own tutorial - and giving credit is always nice.

It's odd that when I read this, it gives me a mixed feeling of hopelessness and motivation...

Art is work, but look at the product - it's worth it.

I need to work on hands and fingers! I suck at those the most!

Well, first look at your own hand and go through all the motions in the tutorial. Then draw your hand, over and over. Then, any time you have to draw a figure, look in a mirror with your hand in the same position, holding the same thing.

Remember to draw your own hands in these same positions. You learn from drawing.

Thanks! A better resource would be to look up Michael Mentler's sketchbook on conceptart.org. He's incredible.

follow the tutorial and draw from life. Look at your hand after you study these drawings, really feel along your hand for the soft muscle masses, hard bones, and tendons. Try to get your hand by a strong light source that brings out the forms. Remember all hands are different. Some hands have different finger proportions. Also, look up Michael Mentler on conceptart.org. He's a master of anatomy, especially drawing hands.

thanks! I have to say though, there are better resources available. I've found this downloadable book on anatomy by Bridgeman is excellent to draw from: [link]

Awesome, but kind of too rigid posing and looks, kind of too solid? I can't kind the word but it looks to thick in the lines......

These drawings aren't all that good, and the anatomical bits with veins and such aren't accurate. I'd love to get some better reference photos sometime and redo this.

I've found better ones since I did this. You should look up Bridgeman's books on anatomy. Do a google search for a free download. His books explain it much better than I do.
Also, Michael Mentler has great anatomy studies, including hands here: [link]

You're welcome, there's a better series to study if you look up Bridgeman's anatomy book online. You can download it free. Sketch from it, and read it thoroughly it's much better.
