How to Draw a Realistic Hand

[leomcdonald]

I’ve been explaining and showing this process to students in public and private schools as a full time art teacher going on 16 years. This one video may be the best explanation of drawing I have ever seen. Rock on dude.

Thank you so much for this video. Yesterday, I had an art exam and we needed to draw a hand, similar to this one, only at a different angle. Every day before the exam, I would practice this drawing, and the hard work definitely paid off. I used the same method with the simple shapes, and I was very impressed with my final products. Hopefully I will get into this school. I will edit this comment when I get the results!

I used this lesson with my sketch class for seniors. Seniors with no drawing experience did a wonderful job. I modeled and helped with minor corrections only. The tutorial is very easy to follow. Just paper, sketch board, eraser, and two sketch pencils. Very realistic and much easier than drawing your own hand, a standard lesson. Karen Robeson

One of the best instructional videos on pencil drawing I have seen, thanks greatly

Starting off by reducing the hand to shapes has been a real and helpful revelation for me!! thank you.

Thank you so much for this video!! As someone that has done cartoony art and stuff, I have never really tried realism. Now with this video you have gifted us with, I feel like I have a black belt in realism and shading. Thank you so much for this, and great drawing too!!

Thanks for the lesson. This is the first realistic hand I ever attempted and it turned out much better than I had ever done before. The information and tips are great!

Trying to imitate your style of shading is sooo difficult T_T

I've never had any luck with putting too much detail into my work too quickly. I always map it out first, just to see what I'm working with and what needs to be adjusted. Great hand video

Such a simple thing, but seeing the hand as a square plus a triangle has helped, thank you. :-) Now I can draw the thumb a whole lot better than I could before.

[Eszter]

Thank you very much!This is an awesome drawing, and it's very big help for anyone!

[adrian.d]

do you think this can be done with charcoal? i'll lightly draw it of course with a graphite or a light vine first of course

when you say your concentrating on one part of the picture your currently on at any point are you saying your only focus is on the look of the particular peice of the picture you happen to be on or the whole picture just in small segments?

Fantastic tutorial, thank you very much, you're a terrific teacher, finally someone who understand the difference between teaching how and showing how.
