Some Thoughts On Hands (Patreon)
Content
This is not an actual tutorial by any means so take everything with a healthy grain of salt. But! Here are some thoughts I have on drawing hands, how I developed my style, how I visualize them while drawing and what kinds of details I emphasize.
For me, everything in my style is just years of observations that have piled up. Sometimes I see a detail in someone's art that I really like, and adapt it into my own! Sometimes I realize something about my own style that I don't care for, and make changes based on that! Sometimes I idly swing my arm around and notice a muscle or a bone or a tendon I never noticed before and go "Shit!!! I gotta add that in"!
If there are any artists here who would like to use the hands I draw as reference or for studies, I say hell yeah go for it! Just don't take what I do as some kind of anatomical truth, explore around and find a way to draw them that makes sense to you!<3
