Introduction
If you want to learn how to draw a hand, but don’t know where to start, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. While the hand is a vital part of the human body, as well as a vital component of any human sketch or drawing, I understand that many of you face difficulties in drawing it properly. I’ve been there as well. Like many of you, I too would mess up the proportions, end up making the hand look artificial, and just make a mess out of the whole drawing. Luckily, I was able to improve my hand drawing skills by studying a few hand drawing tutorials. These videos have helped me develop my hand drawings, and I’m certain that they can help you out as well.
To draw the hand, you first divide the entire drawing into three parts, namely the fingers, the wrist, and the rest of the hand. The fingers are very tricky to draw, and this is where you’re likely to mess up the most. The proportions need to be perfect here. Next comes the wrist, which has to be structured and sized according to the proportions of your fingers. Finally, you draw the rest of the hand, which won’t take much effort in comparison to the fingers and the wrist.
Hand Drawing Tutorial for Beginners
This video tutorial will show you how to draw a hand in three different poses, namely the hanging hand pose, the closed fist, and the open palm. Each drawing is to be approached differently, since they vary from one another in terms of their poses. The tutorial is ideal for beginners and intermediate learners. The drawings aren’t that detailed, but are still quite nice to look at.
