Description Notes: I suggest drawing all the hands here (just for practice)....and see if you guys improve or not ;;. I feel like I improved just by compiling all these drawings xD.

Oh, and on another note, never try to hide the hands when drawing a picture. After all, forcing yourself to draw them on a body is the best way to practice ^^.

Finally, never be afraid to use references. Use your own hands if you must (unless your hands are like mine...fat and chubby and generally unappealing), or take a picture of someone's hand. Imagination and memory can only take the technical side of drawing to a certain point until you have drawing enough to master it.

-----------
Sorry, it's a bit big. These hands were compiled in a week's time through observing people and drawing hands in life-drawing . The shading's really rough, but hopefully it shows a bit more structure and how to shade the hand

Also, I'm not a professional (yet xD;; ), so there still may be mistakes in my drawing. but I tried my best ^^.

People has been asking me for a tutorial and I've been meaning to do one for...the longest time, ever.
I know there are a lot of hand tutorials out there, but since it's my favourite body part to draw, I though, "why not?". I personally can't get enough of looking at different tutorials on doing stuff, so....yah .



I hope it's helpful even a little. The references at the bottom are for everyone to look at and, well, reference, if need be.

Very awesome and very human hand poses, too often when I am looking for good reference or something to give me a sense of proportion and scale on the hand it looks too artificial. This looks great, really handy and something I will most definitely use to help my own drawings!

Maracuarela In reply to ??? [2011-08-30 21:29:02 +0000 UTC]

This tutorial certainly has been helpful to me, hands are extremely difficult to draw, let alone master. The more someone teaches you on how to place them in a drawing the better you get.
Thanks

I hate drawing hands. Especially when using my own as refs, they are small, chubby and look weird, haha.

But this is an awesome compilation of awesome hands. I am sure it will help me in the future. Great job and thanks for sharing!
