How to hands by Remarin on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

what? noo im not procrastinating, whatcha talkin about? i totally still have time to study, wont be hectic at aaallll
but for real tho, im in a much better mood after drawing some hands

NOW, ok, so, here's just a quick improvised how to sketch hands or such, tho one of the most important advice i can give is: LOOK AT HANDS, look at them, look at your own,, or if you ((like me)) think that your hands are too uninteresting, too soft-looking, then go look at edgy man hands, or spidery, boxy hands with dem veins and knuckles and such,, stare at your French-teachers awesomely gnarly hands, while he's talking about some dead homo poet named Rimbaud,,,,
so when you have troubles figuring out where to put that thumb when making a fist,, then MAKE a fist and stare at it,, stare at your drawing and try to figure out why they dont look the same
i like to sketch my hands with a mixture of boxes and squiggly curves,, maybe you like to make them more boxier, or rounder, or sharper,, you can use basic geometric forms and stretch them,, experiment! play around! how much can you squiggle and still make it look hand-shaped? feel the squiggle

((I hope this was helpful in some way or another))
