Sketchbook Challenge – Day 22

For today’s prompt, Draw your hand.

First, you can decide if you want to draw the hand you are drawing with or your non-dominant one.

If you are new to drawing hands, you may want to choose to draw your non-dominant one. Position it in front of you as a still life.

Drawing hands is quite a challenge, as with any human aspect. It is perfectly normal to start off with wonky attempts. Here is what I would suggest:

Start off by drawing the contour lines of the overall hand shape. Then draw the outlines for each finger. Work from outside to inside when it comes to the details. Start with light layers and build upon those. See the hand not as a hand but more of an object composed of shapes within shapes. This tends to help!

You are welcome to have your hand holding something if you wish. 

Remember, wonkiness is supposed to happen with this!
