I was using coloursofts, which I found more comfortable to work with because of the wider barrel, but I’ve since switched to Prismas for the better colour range, though they do feel quite narrow compared to the coloursofts. I use prismas on wood, so I do use a lot of pressure – a lot of burnishing. ![]() I need to get another 5 pieces done for the end of the month for another show! Then I can take a break. The thing is that I don’t have time to take a break right now. I know I have a rotten pencil hold, and obviously I put too much pressure on my index finger if I’m experiencing this, but… it will go away right? I’ve been getting some pieces finished for my first solo show, so I’ve been doing a LOT of drawing, and now I’ve found that the tip of my index finger has gone numb and tingley. You can view different layers by clicking on the thumbnails at the top.This has me a bit spooked so I thought I’d just check if anyone else has experienced this.

Understanding muscles, tendons and fat tissue will help add a layer of realism to your hands. In this case, eye the approximate measurements and remember to implement the use of curved lines when drawing fingers.

Now that we understand the proportions and how to construct a basic hand, let’s practice drawing different hand gestures. They should be well above the knuckles drawn in step 2. Humans have some webbing in between each finger, so make sure you connect each finger with webs. Increase the fat between each finger joint for chubby looking hands or decrease the fat while making the joints stick out for a skinnier hand. Add another circle halfway up from there. Measure the length of the thumb and draw a circle at the halfway point. The height of the thumb will change depending on how far it is spread out. Step 6: Draw the thumbįor the thumb, draw a curved line coming from the bottom left circle. Each finger should have 3 circles ranging from small, medium to large from top to bottom. ![]() We now have reference points for joint placement! Wasn’t so bad, was it? Please note that these are only loose measurements for simplicity sake.įor each finger, draw 2 more circles. Add 2 more ticks on the middle finger, each roughly 1 quarter of the way down. ![]() Now that we have all 4 fingers drawn, it’s time to locate each joint. To do that, draw a curved line that is similar to the first one drawn in step 1. Our fingers vary in length and since the middle finger is the longest, we will use it as a reference to find the height of the other 3 fingers. The dotted line marks the maximum finger height. To determine the length of each finger, measure the length from the wrist to the knuckles and duplicate that. Add a 5th circle for the thumb located on the bottom left about 4/5ths of the way down. Step 2: Draw five circlesĭraw 4 circles at the top with an even amount of spacing between them. Taper the right side of the rectangle as well. The right side of the curve will dip down much lower than the left side since we are drawing the back of the right hand. Use an HB pencil to draw a rectangle slightly longer than a square.

The easiest way to learn how to draw hands is to first understand its proportions and bone structure. Don’t let it be yours! Tuck your fears away, take your pencils out and let’s practice drawing some hands together! I would always find ways to hide them because drawing hands was one of my biggest weaknesses. I’ll admit I used to draw people with their hands tucked away in their pockets or hidden behind their backs. These gestures can convey many emotions such as fear, anger, sadness and happiness. Our hands are extremely expressive and can form endless amounts of gestures.
