#Rebirth......How to draw the real hands....#painting.

Hello My Fellow Steemians,

I am very sorry guys, I have been painting and posting but haven't teach how to draw and paint it yet, but I hereby promise that henceforth, it would be more of teaching now.

The Receiver!

How to draw and paint a good hands.

Firstly, (How to sketch).

Firstly, to sketch, you need to get yourself a B pencil, probably a 2B pencil. When you have your pencil with your paper/sketch pad, then you will create for yourself a frame size on the paper for a proper proportion, so before you start sketching, you need to take a very good look at your reference picture (the picture you wanna draw), try to study the picture for like an hour or more, make sure the picture is now a thing you can draw even without the reference picture. After you must have studied the reference picture well, then pick up your pencil, sketch and make sure you sketch exactly what you can see in the reference picture and make sure the sketching lines are not too thick, just like what you see above.

How to start your painting after the sketch.

From the above step to the below step.

Before starting your painting, there is one thing you should always have at the back of your mind, which is just that, to get a good result in painting, you must start painting from the lighter part and start with the lightest color. Just like what we have above, the first painting step, there you would see that I actually painted the hands with the color white first, I did that just to reveal to you that there is a white part in the reference picture and one thing you need to know too, is that, you must paint just exactly what you see in the reference picture unless you are painting an imagination. If you take a good look at the second picture of the painting stages, you will noticed that I painted some parts of the pictures with a kind of deeper color to be compared to the first stage of the painting, I used the deeper color to illustrate the hand marks or lines, you have to do that whenever you are painting in other to achieve a good realism in painting.

How to show the palm lines effect

After painting the lines effect, you will have to do some technical work since it's a palm and we all know that on our palms we can find a lot of lines and marks, which you must portray while painting, so for me to show the lines effect on the palms, I had to add a little brown to the tinted brown I have used before, then after mixing the small quantity of the brown color with the tinted color you have before, then you are good to go, so you will use the new mixed color to paint out the lines effects. Don't give up just keep trying, you will surely get it right.

The Final stage and the Final picture.

Now that you have done the part of painting the light and showing the palm lines effect, Now you will need to start blending, here is the moment when you would have to pay more attention to looking at the reference picture. You will take a good look at the reference picture, it's a must because you have to achieve the best realism just like the reference picture, and mind you while blending you will have consider the fact the you need to start the blending with the lightest color and from the lighter part of the picture. Then after blending, you will have to repeat the act of painting out the palm lines effects again so as to achieve total realism.
