Thx.

It's LONG!!
fair warning. xD; Took me quite a few hours to complete. Another project I just got wound up in and had to complete. Now I can move on to other things easier. xD;

I hope it's helpful, never done a tutorial before... oO;

So, uh, yeah. Enjoy. And don't crit the work done, if you have a comment about content, that's fine (like something you wish I'd put in for instance) but to critique the actual tutorial I would rather you didn't. Thanks!

don't fave w/out commenting please & thank you!

edit: xD;; I was informed the sizing was wrong before for the hand. I realized my mistake, the hand was held too high. It's fixed now... sorry about that!!!

Extra: Thanks for all the support and faves on this! I'm glad it's so helpful and enjoyable! I love hands, tis a passion. Hope to see some marvelous hands from ya'll in the future! hehe.

Also take a look other tutorials!! Anatomy & Foot

Thanks alot for this tutorial.
I didn't really help me out coz I still can't draw hands after doing each and every part of what you were telling... But it's still a great tutorial and i'm sure it helps alot of people out.

I must also say that when I try to draw a hand as long as the person's jaw-to-temple-hairline, it looks way too small... Idk how that's possible, but my guts say there's something wrong with that tric...

Anyway, I think you but a whole bunch of work into this,
great job!

It takes practice, it not intended to be able to make you instantly be able to draw hands flawlessly but assist you in mastering how to. You also must understand the basics of anatomy, as that does help in mastering any parts of drawing the human body. As far as the size of the hand, it's regarding the jawline in the middle not the back by the ear, if you put the heel of your hand at the side of your face at your jaw near your chin and then lay it against your face, your middle finger should reach your temple. That however, does not take into respect hair lines or the size of your actual hand. I've had this discussion about 20 other times in other posts and my remark is always the same. I'm not an expert, but seeing as I've been drawing my whole life as well as taken a lot of art classes, I think I know what I'm talking about.

Thanks anyways.

I'm sorry that you had to say this again... (about the temple-chin thing), I didn't really read all the posts pple gave on your tutorial

You sound kindoff irritated... I didn't mean to offend you or anything, and when I say I appreciated your tutorial, i really meant it (and not in a sarcastic way or something :s)

And I've been practicing on hands for Γ‘ges.. coz I know it's one of my flaws, and somehow it's just not getting better..
But I think some of your tips will certainly help.
Thnx for that

I know you didn't intend to offend, and I'm not offended, but if you want to tell me that my info is wrong, have something to back it up, don't just tell me that you feel that that's the wrong information- you stated that it's a good tut, but that it didn't help you, so I'm not sure what you were saying other than critiquing me.

Hands can be hard, I still have trouble sometimes, but practicing more and more will help, sometimes it just takes awhile. But, good luck.

I don't critique pple... Except if they litterally ask me for it...

And you didn't, so please don't see it as critique.

Anyways... let's drop this useless 'discussion', coz I think it's kindoff a misunderstanding..

Keep up the good work!

Picking out specific pieces of someones work with the good points and bad points is called a critique.

No worries though, thanks.

Interesante.
I love looking at these even if they don't really help me. I like to see how people rough the hand then get to the finished product.
I've never seen this good of an example using the BOX rough layout for the hand. I think I'll try it. Also, the poses at the bottom are nice. Thank you for publishing this.
