Description
One of the things I find frustrating as an artist is trying to draw my right hand. I can't just drop my pencil, pose my hand, memorize how it looked, draw it, drop the pencil again, ETC. ETC. ETC! It's SO annoying! So I dragged my sister downstairs and told her that she was going to be a hand modal, as I forced her to hold her hand in the air for an extended period of time (which, I'll have you know, wasn't that long, though I'm sure she'll tell you it took forever). Some of the fingertips got a bit cut off while I was collaging them together, but I'm seriously lacking in the computer skills. Anything beyond selecting a few pictures in Picasa and clicking "collage", and I'm lost for hours.UPDATE - Thank you so much to everyone who has posted such nice compliments! I posted this because it was what I, as an artist, wanted, and apparently so do you! I have limited time (as seen by my severe lack of updates) but if there is something simple that would be helpful, let me know! I'll see what I can do....

As everyone else has said, this is fantastically useful but there is one thing I HAVE to know:
It was driving me crazy that no one had commented on this in the first few pages of comments I looked at. Within about 10 seconds of looking at this I noticed the bottom right corner hand picture is either a left hand or a mirror reflection of a right hand making it appear to be a left hand. I was wondering if this was this your intent as an artist or just something that happened by chance?

Yes, that has been pointed out to me often to my embarrassment - it was a simple collective overlook as I was gathering pictures together. I never for the life of me imagined more than a few people would ever be looking at this, so I wasn't overtly careful. Now it stands as a testament to my oversight, but thank you for looking so carefully at the pictures that you noticed!

Wow! I like it more just for what it is artistically than because I would use it--mostly because I probably won't: I don't draw very well--but it's overall very aesthetic.

amazing. that is totally true though. i just hate drawing my right hand since I'm a righty and all. nice work!

LOL
I do that to my sister.
She gets mad after a long period of time, and leaves as I am about to finish. D;
Then I drop my pencil, look at my hand, try to memorize, and draw it.
It doesnt't work.
This will help me!
Thank you so much!

Thak you very much fot this!!!!
You helped me a lot, I suck at drawing hands!

I may find this to be very usefull, because nobody wants to hand model for me when I'm in the mood to do a hand sketch, also I have this little inner voice saying "noo dont let them stay still for 40minutes, if you stuff it they'll be annoyed"
so yeah..thanks, and I totally agree with the difficulties in drawing your own right hand (for us right handed people) my right ones usually end up slightly more angled than they should lol
thanks.
