Description


Yes it's true, new monthly tutorials are now available via my Patreon
>>>>> Get new tutorials and lend me a helping hand (get it) (cuz hand tutorial) (kbye) here <<<<<




Another tutorial Theres a lot of text but I tried to make my system as clear as possible. As usual you can copy or use any of these drawings freely, but be sure to read the tut as well! As I recommend in it to ref from photos or real life over other people who might have made mistakes (not me of course, as I never make mistakes) (lol). Enjoy!

Many thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for since my ability to draw hands is quite large in percentage of suck.

The 'O' is the head, 'T' is the back/arms and the L is the bent knees!!
Hope that helps (: (although I enjoyed your acronyms more. )

I love your tutorials equal to the amount that I hate drawing hands. That means a lot. Damn all those dexterous fingers!

This is definitely helpful in reminding me of some of the finer points of hand depicting. I tend to blank out on the proper attachment of the thumb. Accursed thumb!

So much !

shingworks In reply to PhoenixFuryBane [2008-04-25 05:47:51 +0000 UTC]

Aw thanks :3 Yeah hands are a love-hate sort of thing (love them, hate to draw them...) good luck on resolving your thumb issue :3

PhoenixFuryBane In reply to shingworks [2008-04-25 16:53:05 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome! It is weird. Hands are so wonderfully expressive, but that's the same thing that makes it harder to draw them. The answer to all my drawing issues? More anatomy classes.

My dear i read EVERYONE of your tutorials because they are super amusing, enlightening and teacher-y:

eg: Does this hand look bold or hestitant? Why?

But, but... hairy old man hands are the best. D:>

Great tutorial. Love the fact that the humor doesn't override the tutorial-ness. *hand + thumbs up for you*

Meow hand made me think of death metal. And then I got images of a hand with a mohawk. Yay for logic.

Haha, meow hand... try making the hand in the picture and you'll see what its supposed to be XD

THANK YOU. I just had a hell of a time drawing hands today, too. Your expressions and poses tutorials are equally useful, as well as amusing.

Falcolf In reply to ??? [2008-04-24 22:39:36 +0000 UTC]

I love your tutorials, I have to agree with how it gets boring to see hands behind backs (though I can't really talk about that... I'm actually just starting to *gasp* use hands properly). This kind of inspires me to do a tutorial on canine teeth maybe... so many people draw canines, but they don't know the correct anatomy of the most important part for expressions in them it seems.

shingworks In reply to Falcolf [2008-04-25 05:45:39 +0000 UTC]

You should! Yeah, it gets annoying when people just draw a bunch of triangles and its like 'yay, teeth!'

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Falcolf In reply to shingworks [2008-04-25 18:28:57 +0000 UTC]

I think I will, because teeth are a lot easier to draw then a lot of stuff; it's not like they move

WONDER OF WONDERS, MIRACLE OF MIRACLES

ALEXDS MADE A TUTORIAL ONCE AGAIN! *shot*

For srs, though, these are super. I really appreciate the bits about the handy muscle things, and the baby hand is adorable and made me crack up.

((Maybe feets next? Yes? No? Maybe? Lobster?))

Golden-Flute In reply to ??? [2008-04-24 21:57:58 +0000 UTC]

I find that if I'm ever in doubt of a hand pose, I take pictures of my own hand from the angle I will want to draw it at. This is sometimes hard since I'll want to take a picture of the back of my left hand, resting at the side. But it helps, even if you get a "somewhat" picture! This tutorial iz teh awesome!

shingworks In reply to Golden-Flute [2008-04-25 05:44:25 +0000 UTC]

Thats great <3 I recommeded that for the tut but irl I sometimes just wing it cuz I'm lazy XD Or call my brother in to model it for me

Golden-Flute In reply to shingworks [2008-04-25 05:47:25 +0000 UTC]

Same here. Sometimes it's just not worth it to dig out the camera. Sorry I didn't see that part in the tut, I was reading through it in a hurry-- I had to leave home in about five minutes at the time!

goodcitizen In reply to ??? [2008-04-24 21:44:30 +0000 UTC]

That is so fantastic and useful! Anddd! Your style is so fluid and still has a lot of character for just being drawings of hands. I'm jellin'
