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.

I do not know yet if drawing these will help me in the long run. However, I appreciate the effort put in trying to teach noobies like me. Thank you, plus, it looks very beautiful.

Thank you! Very well done. And I may have never seen your hands, but no matter how unappealing you say they may be, if they can draw like this, then they are beautiful indeed. ^.^

i think you could just look up how to draw 6 fingered hands on whatever search engine you use.

I have been getting along with hands since i started to throw away fear of failure, but i must say looking at the way you draw your hands makes me wanna try even harder and press the limit of drawing skill even more. GREAT ARTWORK

if you want to understand hands a bit more i suggest you look up "Jim lee" on youtube it will help a bit and the other help will be stuff like drawing with shapes. Not to mention this guy here Qinni is very good- but he uses more advanced shapes away from basics to draw hands and in order to understand them you need to go back to shapes first. im no judge since i don't even really know exactly how good you are with hands atm so i can simply hope this comment helps you in any way! "after all we all want to improve! that is what makes us artists"

I never noticed how the fingers curve more as the hand is lifted to be 90 degrees to the forearm. That's very interesting! This is a really good and quick tutorial that I'm sure will help me (I hate drawing hands as most people do)
