Hnnngh, dem hands. Really nice :)

*save*
Thank you! :3

Oh mighty goddess of hands, we thank you

Athough accurate I think the hand process should be better explained. I think it'll be hard for someone inexperienced to figure out finger size and positioning, like another day I saw a tutorial saying "lay down the fingers on a straight line and don't worry too much about finger length" and I was like "WTFNO unless you're trying to draw a chinese knockoff robot's hand"

its pretty simple... i break down the parts of your hand. there are 3 parts of a each finder... 2 parts to the thumb. the best reference for hands are your own hands! :D

This actually helps and is well timed I'm currently drawing hands and not pleased with them so i keep erasing

success! :D mission accomplished! jk , just keep practicing you will get it!!

That one hand squeezing a ball. The first thing that came to mind was "oppai. >D "


One thing I do have to recommend to most people is do the mitt in a rough drawing first while you're working out the skeleton of whoever you're drawing. Fingers which are way out there (like pointing with one while the others are curled inward) can be defined by themselves though.

Also important to note: Your fingers are approximately their length away from the butt of your hand. This helps you not only define a hand's size (the palm is half the size of the hand, the fingers are the other half), but their length and the curve of your finger joints where the fingers connect to the palm.

Also also, the arch of your finger's joints makes a curve which is helpful for defining the last joint of your thumb! Your thumb conveniently (when moving sideways anyway) keeps that joint on the same arch.

Also also also, if you continue the arch of your finger joints, they'll usually form a circle that skirts the butt of your hand.

lol OPPAII!! yes i was thinking that when i drew this! i will make more in the future with more poses but this is how i do hands XD

looks great. I cant stress enough to employ the mitten method. To draw the shape of a hand without fingers to place it in space and only then apply fingers and relaxed spacing,

Can't get enough of tutorials like this. Thanks a lot =]

this is very useful, hands have always been my kryptonite.
thanks for posting this

Top portion is basically me in a nutshell. xD
Thanks, this will come in handy.

What's a good what to practice hands and the gestures?

references are you're best friends!

Ok. Cool thanks. Cause I'm in a really bad art block

awe i'm sorry! what helps me with art block is looking at some other peoples art to get a inspiration flow going. :)
