Art Challenge! No,

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Art Challenge! No,

Art Challenge! No, this is not a contest. 

So, as we all know, hands can be very infuriating to draw. Well, that being said, I'm challenging myself, and anyone who wants to join, to draw anything hand related. It can be anything from a doodle on your hand to a super detailed hand sketch thingy.

Please don't not do this just because you think your hands just do not work, because we've all dealt with that a thing one point or another. So, join me on this handy hand challenge! [pun intended...]

Also, if you have any tips for drawing hands and stuff, feel free to share! 

I'll post my first one once this goes up ^ ^

Oh, I love drawing hands! I made a diagram a while ago to show how all the joints work, I'll post it here. I'll also give you guys my tips on drawing hands, but not right now because it's late and I need to go to bed. Unfortunately my photo is probably going to turn out REALLY fuzzy because I had to use a flip phone camera to take it.

Great idea, Night! I used to be awful at hands. Then I started practicing with some big drawings of hands in different poses, and I stared at my hands a lot for reference, and since then I've been better at them, although I still struggle with them. 

Here's a random tip on arm and hand proportions, which I used to struggle with: the hand (hanging casually) usually falls about halfway between the waist and the knee, and on average, a hand with the fingers spread out is slightly smaller than the area of your face, and your hand with the fingers together will cover about half of your face.

@Cockleburr-Oh wow, that's really good! 

 

@Leeli-Using your own hands is a great idea that I've just recently started to use, and it's awesome you've be improved with that ^ ^ Wow, awesome tips! thanks

 

Here's a random hand I did yesterday.

Awesome! I’m one of those weird artists who actually likes to draw hands. This is a page of hand sketches I started a while ago, if I fill it up I’ll show the rest.
