Good that you keep on drawing the hands :smiley: Workshop ended so people
don’t post here anymore, even if they haven’t done all the hands.

Here are quick studies from me to keep you company :slight_smile: Though I have used a different reference, not from workshops, as I needed it for image I paint ATM:

Great sketches, it’s fantastic that you still continue! And shame that I stopped when workshops ended.

#433

I dont want to sound like a total retard but I’m gonna ask anyways 'cause I want to start participating in workshops like these…

When you guys practice from the references like the 50 or so hands that were provided, do you just look at them and make your own completely separate or do you kind of trace them to see what the masters are doing? Again, sorry for being a moron lol…

Here’s one technique:

Just like any other subject, I just carefully observe them first, checking overal proportions and directions. This can take up to a minute or even 2.
Draw a line, observe, draw a line, observe,…
Think 3D when determining where you will draw each line

Another technique would be not to draw any lines but only shades here and there and finish it off with some lines to accentuate.

Ofcourse this is all easily said… try things out, see what works best for you. When you find a way that seems to work for you, use it until you are really comfortable, then get out of that comfort zone.

#435

It’s almost the end of the workshop. I hope I can manage to squeeze some hand studies of my own. here’s 2 of them.
