HANDS - Blog Posts
Sometimes I get depressed thinking about whether or not I've missed out on some life-changing events by just one simple action, like touching someone's hand, making eye contact with someone, etc........*sigh*
Anywho gang it's been a minute so here's the pretty much everything ove drawn in the past like 4 months

I NEEDED THIS
A mouth-watering fuck-ton of hand angle references.

A plethora of rings! Also experimenting with how I want to draw hands. đ
One day I will brag to my friends, that I was there to see its creation. This repost will serve as a proof
Good luck with the series) Love your content
Hands

Octavian (Percy Jackson) Stimboard for Anon (with writing, the sun, stuffed animals & daggers)

[Image ID: A still image of the character Octavian surrounded by 8 gifs. Line one has a close-up gif of someone writing cursive calligraphy on lined paper, a gif of someone gently squeezing a stuffed teddy bear, and a gif of someone's hands pulling a dagger from a leather sheath and spinning the blade. Line two has a gif of a sunset through an arched stone window and a gif of a timelapse of a sunset over an ocean. Line three has a gif panning over a dagger and sheath laying on wooden planks, a gif of someone holding three small stuffed teddy bears in one hand, and a close-up gif of someone writing the word 'always' in cursive with a pen.]
agree
hot take but if you can draw hands youâre automatically a god
The big post of things about hands!!! I donât consider myself qualified to teach art at this point in my life, but I donât see any harm in sharing observations I have made. In learning to draw hands over the past few months Iâve tried to take a lot of notes, with the end goal of hopefully creating a video tutorial one day. I personally learn better from videos than written or illustrated instructions, but Iâve never found any one video that really demystifies drawing hands. I believe that in order to tackle such a difficult subject it is important to understand what makes it difficult, and this is not often addressed. If you understand the problems you can systematically solve themâŠ
Drawing the hand is almost like drawing a whole person. Similar number of âmajor massesâ and a big range of motion.
Because the hand is so versatile, itâs hard to pick a pose when practicing. Most individual body parts are drawn from different angles, whereas the hand must be drawn from different angles and in different poses.
Hands have a lot of moving parts and from any given angle many of these will be partially or wholly obscured by other parts. Drawing âthrough the formâ results in confusing construction lines that are difficult to interpret.
Hands are expressive and give big clues as to what a character is doing. Odd or unnatural hand poses detract heavily from your overall piece. Most people avoid drawing hands because of this.
The thumb flexes along a different plane than the four fingers and sits on its own deviant metacarpal. Drawing the hand in perspective is hard enough, but adding the thumb in relation to the rest of the hand at a convincing angle? Forget about it!
Hands are typically simplified into box and cylinder forms, but almost every part of the hand is a combination of angles and curves. No one simplified form really describes these parts.
Hands interact with other objects, like all the time. Theyâre tricky enough to draw on their own⊠this isnât helping anyone.
Hands have a lot of bony landmarks, veins, and tendons, all visible at the surface level. These are obstacles when trying to render them realistically.
Hands are asymmetrical from every angle. Every part, every time.
I think that about covers the major issues we face when trying to draw hands. Now here are some observations and facts that you can use to fight back!
The width of the first three fingers (index, middle and ring) is the same as the width of the wrist. The pinky and thumb both emanate from the parts of the palm that overhang this line.
The palm of the hand is more of a pentagon than a rectangle (Thanks, Jim Lee!).
The length of the middle finger is approximately the same as the length and width of the palm.
The length of the phalanxes (finger bones in this case) diminishes in size as they get further from the palm. The second (middle) phalanx is 2/3 the length of the first (proximal), and the third (distal) is 2/3 the length of the second. You donât really notice this since the first knuckle is âinsideâ the palm and we tend to think of the fingers as starting at the âfinger crotchâ.
The thumb has no middle phalanx, only a proximal and a distal one.
The thumb is rotated 90 degrees from the angle of the four fingers. So the fingernails point âupâ and the thumbnail points âto the sideâ. This obviously changes depending on the pose, but the thumbnail never really points âupâ with the other fingernails unless it is bent backwards, as in poses when all five fingers are pressed against a flat surface. It never really points âdownâ unless the hand is clamping or pinching⊠or operating a sock puppet.
The thumb has to sit lower than the palm so that it can flex underneath the hand. The first knuckle of the thumb is almost as far below the index finger as the pinky is far away from the index finger.
The âwebbingâ of the thumb connects exactly half way up the palm.
Hands are asymmetrical from every angle. Every part, every time.
That is all the knowledge I have so far, and now you have it too! I donât think any tutorial, video or otherwise, can ever teach you as much as the thousand observations you will make from drawing a thousand hands. There is no substitute for practice. So practice by looking at your hand from the normal vantage point, and from a mirror. Practice from 3D reference like the Handy Art Tool. Practice by copying other artists and animators whose hands appeal to you. Most of all, practice from imagination. PRACTICE! Below is every reference that I can remember that Iâve personally used while practicing hands:

Do me a favor and share this around, will you? We could all use more light shed on this subject. -Aaron
i actually really love drawing hands and only recently have I enjoyed it haha
Iâm still not very good at it nor do I understand a single thing about anatomy but hereâs some small tips I hope help!!!
tbh ive been waiting for someone to ask for a hand tutorial
I didn't have internet for a while and I couldn't look up for hand references on Pinterest so I finally made good use of my 2k + reaction pics folder on my phone đ | Ko-fi
Aww your hands & guys are so cute :)))
HELLO EVERYONE! I'm stormee until I can think of a better username. I have always been a fan of gt with really knowing it, but then I discovered there's a whole community surrounding it! I've spent the past few weeks lurking around g/t tumblr (you guys are AMAZING!), and I'm finally ready to join the mix! I have a few ocs with a whoooole bunch of lore, so get ready!
thought I'd start off with a hand study and some tinies
Tbh drawing hands is an excellent way to give into my love of all thing g/t
Trying to study hands, added a bit of g/t fo make things a little more fun!
I love this. I want weird creepy architectural arms creeping from the corners of my house.
Créditos ao criador original por favor cheque lå pq estå e a ART dele OK

I had the strangest interaction with a customer a few days ago(for context, I work at a gas station/convenience store) I was bagging her items and she just goes "Oh my goodness! You have such long finger!" And like, I suppose I do but wth lol(picture of hand for additional context) She then asked if I played piano which I do not and then she went on her way, I fuckin love people
Desserts - Loquat Crumble Try this delicious crumble if you're able to get your hands on some fresh loquats. Before being used in the filling, the loquats must first be simmered.
I'm loosing ideas for drawing spinnaraki drawings
With lines and without lines
Just something I did at school today
Also version without star â
Have some sketches
