Hello and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial or tutorial Tuesday!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and a lot of people have mentioned to me that they're having trouble with hands.
So I decided to cover this subject to give you a hand.
Oh, bad joke!
Let's get to work, rather.
I start with a middle line and then with the width.
The length of the hand is about the same as the length of the fingers,
it may vary but it looks good with this proportion.
I mark the places where the fingers can bend and then I sketch the thumb.
The fingers are not straight and keep in mind that they bulge a little at the joints,
that makes them look more real.
I can suggest the nails and some wrinkles.
We all have them, even young people like us. [laugh]
The ring finger is a little bit longer than what I have done.
The little finger gets only to about the joints of the next one.
I can mark some of the tendons, they'll go more or less like this
Ok, good! I'll do another one.
This time I will not take reference points, I will eyeball it,
this will be a more relaxed hand.
I build the form of the hand and the fingers.
These methods may not be the more orthodox,
of course they are not the best in the world, but they work for me
and I hope they can be of some use to you as well.
Let's do the wrist a little bit wider.
The wrinkles of the young.
Oh, sorry I didn't realize we were off frame.
Very well. Let's do another one.
This time I will start with the main shape.
This is a very good practice because you make sure that the drawing is going to be in proportion.
Then within the general shape, I do the details.
A finger pointing to the sky.
Ok, good. I'll draw the last one,
but before I do that, let me correct a couple of things that I saw in this one.
I do the index finger a little bit wider
but specially the pinky goes a lot shorter.
It only goes to the joint of the next one, remember.
For the last one, I draw some reference lines of the main features.
No, I'm not drawing a butt, I'm not drawing a fox
and I am not drawing mickey mouse.
It is a hand which is hanging, it may be because of the Olympics.
I am shading this one, as you can see but just quickly, sketch like.
As it is making a strong effort, the tendons become visible.
I do some darker shadows to create some volume.
And lastly with the eraser I pull some lights.
Allow me to correct this again,
for the length of the fingers I made, the hand needs to be a little bit bigger.
That's more in proportion.
I would really appreciate if in the comments you can let me know if this was helpful
or what do you think about it.
