Description
UPDATE: I reuploaded the file, which removed the preview image. You should be able to enlarge the file now w/out needing to download. If you still have issues, just download it, it should work.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

Hello. I'm representing a group called "Anime Can be art too" so I was wondering if I could submit this AS A GROUP ENTRY. I would in NO WAY take credit, and I would put a black border saying "DO NOT FAV, PLEASE FAV THE ORIGINAL" And if/when people fav it I make sure to ask them to fav yours instead :3

Nice hand tutorial. I've been trying to get a certain hand position right for a sketch I've been working on for someone and you've really helped me with getting some ideas on how to get what I'm seeing on my head on paper. Thanks!

Mind if I ask how you got it to have a different display image
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did that before they changed the system and allowed you to have preview images on any file type you wanted. Now, it appears they don't allow preview images on any file type anymore, as I've tried gif, png and it won't let me do a preview image. Tis annoying, but oh well. Not sure why they did that, but whatever.

im sure they got plenty of complaints about it... lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, but apparently, complaining means nothing to the mods of dA as they never change anything when the users complain how they don't like the change. They're more like 'deal with it!' lol. Oh well.

isn't the fourth finger supposed to be different on girls and boys? you didn't touch on that ...

obscure information like that is not important as this tut is only for the basic knowledge on how to draw a basic hand. If you want to make it completely and utterly accurate with anatomy that applies do the genders, you'll find that information somewhere else, like in an anatomy book. As this isn't that and as I stated, is a basic tutorial, I'm not going to touch on little details like that as it's unimportant. This is only for helping to draw a hand better, period.
Thanks anyways.

Oh jebus sorry x_x
I've made you really mad
I apologise completely, I think at the time I'd just found it odd cause I'd seen it on a childrens program and ended up commenting on it.
expressed apologies

Oh, I wasn't mad, sorry that I came across that way. I don't really know what the difference is with genders and all concerning such things on hands, since really, at least to which finger (being that female hands are usually slimmer than on men) but as far as the finger thing is concerned, I don't think it really matters in drawing as no one will take notice in that sort of thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry, I get scared easily and I only noticed because I've been told and I'm a "perfectionist" as I've been called on many an occasion.
It's the female fourth finger is usually longer than the index finger and on the male it is either the same size or smaller is all.
thankyouu~

Ah, interesting. Cool. Thanks for the info. I might've heard that at one point, but just didn't think it really mattered. lol.
Tah.

I'm not surprised that this took a DD congrats
The tips are really helpfull but I just need to ask something...I tried the one with the bones and it turned out very good but when I'm going to draw it in a small scetch so the hands must be small what should I do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Instead of detailed bones, only draw the a single line representing the bones, so to get a feel of where it bends and all that. I do that all the time if the sketch is smaller.

I see...thanks for the tip!!!
