Hands are a drawing subject many artists, beginners as well as professionals struggle with. In a worst case scenario tend to avoid sketching them all together! In this class we will take the complex shape of a hand and break it into smaller, simple shapes that are easier to understand and replicate! :) This will not only make it easier for you to sketch hands but hopefully also more enjoyable. So get your supplies and let's tackle this goal together!
Please don't forget that this class is about using simple shapes and therefore doesn't touch on anatomy. Looking at the bone struckture and muscles as well as many references of real hands will help you understanding them greatly!
Understand the Shapes - Take at least 3 photos of your own hands and draw over them digitally or print them out and draw traditionally. Mark the guidelines we learned! The photos should include at least one front, back and side view of your hand!
Create a Sketch - Sketch the hands on your photos using the guidelines you marked!
Apply What You Learned - Create a sketch of a hand either from imagination or by using your own hand (not a photo) as reference. Try to apply the guidelines to the 3D shape or use them for constructing a hand from your imagination!
Please feel free to ask me anything as well as share your projects in the project gallery to receive my feedback!
