Drawing tutorial 032 - Drawing hands

Drawing hands is probably considered as one of the most difficult anatomical features for any artist. That is partially because of the complex anatomy of the hands and partially because of so many different shapes that a hand can take each of which can look different from different angles thus taking the variation to challengingly difficult numbers. It is hard to remember so many shapes and render it accurately.

But here is good news !! With some good method to draw and some practice, hand drawing can be breeze. Here we shall learn to draw hands by knowing basic shapes that are its building blocks and then adding features to the basic building blocks.

Palm of the hand is almost a flat rectangle. The side towards the little finger is bulging outward a  little. Also, the base of the thumb is outside the base rectangle. The top is also not straight. It curves upward, the base of middle finger being top point of the curve. The dorsal side is little bulging outside and the anterior side is little concave.These are shown in the following illustration.

Drawing tutorial 031 - How to draw hair

Drawing hair at first look may look unchallenging that require no serious observation and practice. But in reality it is not so. To draw hair that looks convincing requires the knowledge of statics and dynamics of hair.
By statics we mean the volume of hair and how that volume covers the head along with flow or direction of hair flow. To know the dynamics means how the hair moves when head turns or there is wind blowing or the person is moving fast.

Hair being flexible can be given so many shapes. But lets first see how much of head it covers because the coverage has less variance.
