It just looks -manlier- when you show muscles and sharp bones. On the flip side, when drawing a man’s hand, the knuckles would be more prominant. Again, just small indications of the knuckles is all you need, you dont need to draw everything in aching detail. (It’s also just more interesting to look at in my opinion). It’s a bit more realistic, plus, it helps show the structure of the hand. If you are trying to draw a girl’s delicate hand, you probably will not emphasize her knuckles, but you should still show a hint of them. We have them! Now this varies between men and women. Even just a little mark to indicate the nail is fine, but do acknowledge them! Fingernails are not hard to draw, and you dont even have to draw them in any detailed fashion. If you do, it looks as though your character has gloves on, or as if their fingers are oddly fleshy and bare. Really, do not skip drawing the fingernails. Don’t forget to check out your own hands and see what poses are or are not natural for them. You can stare at them all day while you draw them. You have two perfect models attached to your very own wrists. If you saw someone doing any of these things with their hands, would you even have to look at their face, to know how they felt? Probably not.Īnd you know what else is awesome about hands? You have them. A man is impatient, so he taps his finger on his desk. A boy is angry, so he clenches his hands into fists. A girl is nervous, so she twists the hem of her shirt between her fingers. That can stretch out, curl and make infinite gestures, hands are wonderful! If you know what you’re doing, you can show a character’s emotion through their hands alone. The thing about hands is that they are beautifully expressive. Don’t beat yourself up about it! I certainly try not to. I’ve drawn my share of wonky hands and you know what? That’s okay, I’m only human. That’s life, that’s art. So get that into your head because that is my number one lesson: You can not, and will not, always draw everything perfectly. This is not to say I always draw them perfectly. As you probably know since I often sit around rambling about how much I love hands. I hope this means that you guys enjoy the way I draw hands. Well! You guys had a lot of interest in different subjects for tutorials, but Hands was high up on the list so I’ll start with that! (You may regret getting me started on the subject)įirst, I’d like to say how much this pleases me. Mostly I’m just trying to point out the kinds of things I keep in mind while drawing, and that I think it’s important people notice while drawing certain these subjects. I’m going to teach you to observe and do this on your own. Because there are a million other tutorials for you to look at for that. And I hope you find it interesting!Īlso, I know the -normal- way that everyone does a tutorial is to draw a million pictures for you to look at and reference. But these are just my observations, the types of things I look at and keep in mind while I’m drawing. And you may enjoy working in a way completely contrary to me. Nothing I say here is something you must go by. Art is beautifully subjective and everyone draws differently. I’ve always avoided doing tutorials before because I felt like if I made one, it was like trying to declare that I know best.
