Super small hand tutorial

Disclaimer: I am sure there are many better ways to do this, and in the end every artist has to find thier own approach, but here's one I recently came up with and which I find particularly useful. :)

This is it, basically. Since I don't really have time for a proper tutorial right now, allow me to just quickly explain my current process of drawing hands using this small thing I doodled down in gimp (I know it's a bit wonky, but it gets the point across... I hope).

 

I normally start with sketching out the hand and fingers. As you can see in the middle image, there are some simple lines where the fingers are supposed to go - these serve only as a rough guide and to capture the basics of the hand movement.

 

Next thing are these ellipsoid shapes which indicate the volume of the fingers - and are super practical for perspectivic stuff. They also work well with a modular hand build, like those I use in most of my Bionicle-inspired drawings.

Hands are evil, so observe them often, research, use your own hands for reference, and practise, practise practise! Then it will get better. Eventually. :3

i was really hoping for a guide to drawing super small hands, but this is equally if not more helpful

For super small hands you just have to reset your scales accoringly. :)

 

(well glad it's kinda helpful? ^^)

 

This is quite handy. ^_^

Yay! :)

Wait...so you model all of your hands on Tahu hands from MoL?

um... wasn't sure, since I haven't watched MoL in a while, but apparently I sort of do? ^^" (at least a quick image search would indicate that)

 

- normally I use slightly different proportions, though :)
