Some areas may receive a very thin line, or maybe no line at all. Areas of shadow will also need thicker lines. Typically areas where the hand becomes larger will require thicker lines. Add variety to your line and push the illusion of form through the marks that you make. Be sure to draw the lines with consideration to line quality. This allows you to concentrate on the lines that you add to the drawing. (Make sure your proportions are correct.) Once the shapes are there on the surface, drawing the outlines is a lot easier. Fortunately, these shapes are easy to draw.Īfter you've drawn the shapes, draw the contour lines. You need only to train your eye to find the shapes that make up the structure of the hand. Remember, by changing the angle of the hand, the shapes may change a little- but they're still there. The cylinders may also taper or become larger depending if any foreshortening is involved. The main fingers are made up of three small cylinders, while the thumb will only have two. Depending on the angle, the cylinders of the fingers may overlap, covering some of them from view. The shape of a finger is simply a cylinder. You just have to know to look for that shape. Here again, this triangle shape can change a bit when viewed from different angles, but it's still there. The shape that is created where the palm meets the thumb of the hand is a triangle. A sheet of paper is rectangular in shape but it can be bent and can appear curved at certain angles. You can almost think of the the square that makes up the palm as sheet of paper. This square can change a bit when the hand is in a different position, but it's still there. If you look at the basic shape of the palm, you'll notice that it makes the shape of a square. Drawing hands, or anything else for that matter is as easy as drawing some simple shapes. I'm talking square and triangle simple.
2 CLOSED HANDS DRAWING HOW TO
But when you know how to look for specific shapes, they are a lot easier to draw. I'll be honest, drawing hands is difficult when you don't know what to look for. It's true that most people believe that hands are some of the hardest things to draw. Like Steps 1 and 2, this step should be drawn lightly.Are you one of those people that absolutely loathes drawing hands? Do you hide the hands in pockets or behind the behind the person's back? There's no reason to approach drawing hands like that. Depending on the pose, sometimes this ovoid can appear more like a triangular wedge. The thumb only has 2 segments (E&F) that emerge out of an ovoid that (G). They tell the viewer if the cylinders tilt toward us or away from us and how much.
Pay close attention to the ellipses of these cylinders. The final segment of the finger tapers and rounds into an ovoid at the fingertip (D). You can see that the cylinder at the base of the index finger (B) is larger than the second segment of the finger (C). Each segment will generally be cylindrical, although they can sometimes appear boxier. This box contains the metacarpals, the bones that extend from the wrist to the first set of knuckles.Įach finger is is divided into three segments. The volume for the palm is usually a box (A). These volumes can change depending on the pose so we don't want to default to a one-size-fits-all system. Next we’ll turn these flat, basic shapes into three dimensional volumes. It is meant to help us construct the rest of the hand, but should not be visible at the end of the drawing. The first is where the index and ring fingers connect (F), and the second contains the ring and pinky fingers (G). In this pose, this line can be divided into two sections. Finally I’ll draw the line of the palm where the fingers attach. Next I’ll draw the curving line where the hand connects to the wrist (E). These lines flow directly out of the lines for the wrist (C & D). Ignoring all detail, I’ll first draw the sides of the palm section of the hand (lines A & B). We include the wrist because the bones and tendons of the hand extend well into the forearm. The biggest forms of the hand are the palm and wrist. Ask yourself: what are the biggest forms of the hand?
When beginning a drawing we first want to approach our subject as simply as possible. Study it and refer back to it throughout the following steps
