Nato-Mondays (Tuesday) 100 Studies!
Sorry for the late post on my Anatomy series, Hurricane Irma was a big pain.
Anyway, I've decided to start a series of drawings to begin to really get proficient at drawing hands. I know hands are some of the hardest things to draw and even harder to understand what you draw. But at the same time they are very rewarding, because just like the face, people can easily recognize the slightest differences between variations. And if you pull off a good drawing of a hand, they are instantly cool and interesting, not to mention they will convey a lot of emotion if drawn right.
To start, I drew some of the studies that Andrew Loomis has in his Heads and Hands book. You should really download the pdf, found here. Draw the many construction drawings and (MOST IMPORTANT) read the intro to the hands section and all the captions.
Heres where I start doing the 100 studies. For now I've only started with 3 to show my level of finish and style. I use live reference or photo reference for all these studies. So, try some of your own and check out the post next week for more hand studies.
Thanks for stopping by. If you like my work please check out my work all across the web.
Good work!
Thanks!
