Ode to hands

Bite, crack, chew
Bite crack chew
These tools given to me by my ancestors
I use them and bite, crack, chew my way through the want of them being oresentable and pretty
Bite, crack, chew
Bite crack chew
Get the WRETCHED white beds out of my skin
They serve no purpose here
I bite, crack, chew, bite, crack, and chew
Bite, crack, chew
Bite crack chew
But it will never be enough
If there is nutrients in my body there is nutrients in the useless keratin i call my organic utensils
Bite, crack, chew
Bite, crack, chew
Bite, crack, chew
Bite crack chew
They will never go away
Bite, crack, chew, Bite, crack, chew,
Bite, crack, chew, Bite, crack, chew,
The only way to rid them is to
Bite, crack...
And chew.
i actually really love drawing hands and only recently have I enjoyed it haha
I’m still not very good at it nor do I understand a single thing about anatomy but here’s some small tips I hope help!!!
tbh ive been waiting for someone to ask for a hand tutorial
Hey! i like how you draw hands, can you do a guide on how you do it???????
I looove drawing hands, but they're as fun to draw as they are difficult 👌👏
Usually when I draw, I don't go for perfect realism/anatomically correct, I mostly follow whatever makes the drawing look good, with exaggerated shapes, sharp angles, etc.
Drawing with references is the best advice I can give you!
When I struggle to draw hands I usually just look at my own hand and try to copy it (I have a small mirror next to my computer to make it easier), it works, but it's not always the best option. If you want to improve quickly, find some pictures and practice by drawing them!
A lot of websites have a built-in timer for studies, here is the one I used for this one for example:
So yeah, practice practice practice! The more you draw, the better you'll get!
how did you figure out how to do hands
well when I do hands I tend to break them into 3 big shapes
starting with the wrist then palm, thumb then the fingers
once I have the big shapes in I separate the fingers
here are some more examples of the different parts
one of the best ways that I learned how to draw hands was to draw a LOT of them, in different poses, while looking at a reference. This is a site that I found useful,
it has 3D models of hands that you can change the view so you can see the same pose from different angles. p.s. this site i linked to does contain nude figures just a heads up
I'm kinda ashamed to ask this, but could you make a tutorial on how to draw hands? ;A;
omg dont be ashamed at all!! Hands are generally tough to get used to, lots of artists struggle with it! so dont be ashamed i feel you.
and I actually have made a hand anatomy guide before in fact! If you want to get better at drawing hands I def recommend you learn the basic anatomy first. Please check out the ones I made, I try to make it simple and easy to understand:
Artistic Anatomy: Hands Part 1
Artistic Anatomy: Hands Part 2
There’s my guide to the anatomy, but here’s some more tips that I’ve noted to myself that I’d like to include
First off, I’d like to just note on the fingers: if you pay close attention to your own hand, you may notice the fingers are ever ever so slightly curved inward. It’s a very subtle detail, but I noticed that, despite how slight it is, it can make a hand look more lively, and less stiff.
Second, the “M” on the palm! Your hand moves in many ways, and because it does it creates creases in your hand. The most prominent creases appear to make an M shape; this is handy to remember for what I’m going to talk about next. (It also could be a “W” I guess, or to be more specific a “ )X( “; just think of it in whatever way helps you remember!)
SO now that you see the M, draw your hand as a basic blocked shape and add your details. As you do, you can see that the M divides the palm into four basic parts!
When the hand moves, parts A, B, or C of the palm, alone or in different combos, will create the general poses that the hands do normally. These parts are the parts that move, with D being stationary, no matter what!
Here’s a chart of all the possible combos. Once you have down what part of the hand moves for a certain pose, you can change up the fingers and tweak it a bit to do what you need to make it more specific!
This is simply my method of drawing hands. God knows there are hundreds of tutorials out there by other artists, but personally, this way helps me the best (after learning the anatomy first).
This way I can divide the hand and combine the parts in any such way I need!
Hands take a lot of effort to grapple, and you need to practice them a lot, especially foreshortening of the hand; that’s really something you need to learn through your own studies. Look at your own hands, draw hands from life, from magazines, shows, comics; just draw hands! You’ll eventually figure out a method that works best for you. So to get better at drawing hands; draw hands!! And don’t stress over it, have fun with it!
Great Reference , a good hand how to draw is always needed ^_^ But, the thing is I MUST draw it for real :/

This is how I draw hands. I simplify the shape and then later I will add the necessary details. It makes it easier to get them right. But the only way to learn how to draw hands is to just keep drawing them.
Thanks for the ask! The truth is, I’m still really shaky on how to draw hands. But here’s a really short and simple tutorial on my approach.
