Like a lot of other people, I’ve never been the best at drawing hands. When drawing them using blocks and other 3D shapes I get something that at least resembles a hand well enough to know it actually is one, but that’s as far as it gets.

To get started, I drew some hands using references. Pictures that other artists have uploaded showing how they draw hands, which I just duplicated to get a bit of an idea.

Drawing some all cartoony like that didn’t exactly work out though, so that picture is not included here. I just moved on to realistically drawing some hands.

This worked out pretty well, so I’ll just have to draw a lot more hands before I can switch over to stylizing them!

As a follow-up to this assignment, we had to blindly draw our hands during class. We had to look at our hands as we drew, but weren’t allowed to look at the page/what we were drawing. It was sort of a tracing task, except you don’t get to actually see what you draw so you just have to base everything purely on what you see.

Afterwards, we continued with this but compared to before, we were allowed to look at our pages once in a while.

Still not perfect but closer to how it actually looks.
Once this was finished we moved on to just drawing our hands without any special rules.
