on drawing hands (again)


Taka Nuvia

Occasionally you have to remind yourself how to draw things (like hands). What normally helps me is doing the following exercise:

1. draw it as you 'nomally' would, look for most prominent errors

2. draw from life, then look for symmetries and shapes -> fit a skeleton inside

3. try to re-create with the newly-found lines

 

(as you can see I re-created a bunch of mistakes in the last hand, especially the size of the thumb...) - and remember, practise makes perfect! :D

For hands just think of the region from the carpal bones to the knuckles is a cube. The fingers work as either cubes or cylinders but IMO they're both. Then again I hate fingers but that's my advice. My hands got better after I started doing that. Hope that helps.
