Imagine the hand is encased in a tight mitten,
and sketch the basic shape formed by the hand and
fingers. Mark the imaginary lines through the
joints.
10
Observing carefully the shape of the space
between them, draw and check the relative size
and placement of the fingers and thumb.
11
Indicate the main visible creases, especially
where the thumb folds into the hand. Refine
contour lines defining the palm and thumb.
12
Here some rough shading is added to bring out the
form of hand. Once you have the basic form down,
try more subtle shading, and observe the fine
lines and visible veins.
13
Create a drawing of your hand holding an object.
You must draw at least one hand. Drawing must
have an interesting composition with a small
amount of negative space. Carefully consider the
object you choose and how it will affect the
composition and possibly create a narrative. Any
black and white medium.
