Hands may initially seem difficult to most of us. The unique shapes of the fingers, fingernails and palms add to the complexity of the structure hand. While drawing hands, it is necessary to establish the forms of all elements in the correct position and proportion. When they observed, can find hands with sizes and shapes, such as short, long, fat and thin. In addition, we have the variety in the length of the fingers and slightly to the east, and the size of the joints, to name a few.

The best way to learn what is what is hypothesized to reduce the structure to the basic geometric shapes. Similarly, imagine the shape of the hand to a set of circles and ovals. Once your eye is trained to see hands in the dimensions of ellipses and circles, overlap, the observations can be easily done on paper. This is the easiest method for drawing hands.

Method 1: geometric figures

 • Basic Framework. Imagine your hand encased in a cotton glove and draw the basic shape of the palm and fingers. Moreover, the imaginary lines attract to illustrate the folds of the hands and joints. Remember to keep the pen tip as light as possible.
 • Fingers and thumb. Now, notice the difference between fingers and placing them under the thumb. Draw your comment, and check the position of the fingers is a good way.
 • Detailed. Having established the basic structure of the hands, it's time to detail. To do this, remove all the curves along the contour of the hand, especially near the thumb, the relief formed by folding. Then concentrate on the folds of her hand and drawings of them. Carefully contours near the knuckles and palm.
 • Shadow. Observe the light and shadows on the surface of the hands and consequently the shade you have learned. This will give a realistic appearance of the hand you have described. If the hand-drawn has a dorsal view, as I recall in the shadow of light, while the pattern of veins and bones, in fact, visible on the surface hand.

Method 2: Print

 • Hand Prints. Make an impression of hands dipped in color and printed on paper.
 • Geometric shapes. Now take a tracing paper and mark the fingers in terms of oblong shapes and circles, while the palms in circles.
 • Hand-frame. Now, the location – the geometrical figures drawn on another sheet of paper. You get the rectangle and circles, arranged in the format of the hand.
 • Forms and Seals. Develop rounded shapes of the fingers and palms. Watch your fingers. It is divided into 3 sections between Knuckles and Tip. Watch now joints of the hand by the thickness and the distance between the joints. Should be shorter inside.
 • Nail Design. Keep the tip of a pencil of light to attract Nails, showing his white hand. Different hands are shaped differently from the nails. Some have rounded or flat-Squared Consulting, some extend beyond the finger, some are short, some nails are very small, while some are long.
 • cuticles. While to attract a closeup of the hand, be sure to remove the cuticles.
 • Drawing thumb. Thumb has a very different way. It has two joints, while that the fingers have three. Note that the thumb out of his hand curves. Rounder thumb is finger-shaped and has a form of fat, fleshy at base.
