How to Draw Hands
...some preliminary hand studies
Learning how to draw hands requires practise and
some basic knowledge of hand proportions.
Below are just a few examples of the many preliminary hand studies I've done. Most of these studies were done to prepare for my musician drawings. This accounts for the types of hand positions you see...piano players, guitarists, bass players, horn players, singers snapping their fingers, etc.
When drawing hands I vary my technique, depending on what the hands are doing, and the effect I want to achieve. I draw , "sketchy" hands,
detailed hands
, "sketchy" hands,
moving hands
, hands in shadow, highlighted hands, reflections of hands, etc.

Regardless of the style of hands being presented however, one always has to adhere to the
basic structure of the human hand.
