Friday Inspiration: Drawing Hands

Hands are the hardest part for me to draw and often the missing part to calling many of my drawings 'finished'. Best way to get over a fear is to conquer it, right? Well here are some resources that I found helpful and I hope you do too! Please comment with any hand resources you know of!

Toby Shelton: I've Got to Hand it to You

Joumana Medlej: Drawing Hands

Ron Lemen: Drawing the Human Hand

Draw In Black: List of several hand resources (I haven't had time to check them all out, let me know if you find any gold in there!)

Hi Jess. I was going to draw just for a joke, a box and some pipe shapes and upload it as if to say, "not when I draw them"... but it works!!! I'm inspired! I can draw most of a person decently but hands kind of scare me. Not now! I feel like Batman after he got over his fear of robins... something like that. As soon as I get a chance I'll look at all these links, thanks.

Wow! Awesome links everyone! What a great little collection of hand reference we have here. And Des, I am glad you tried some of these theories out! Post them if you feel like sharing :) Thanks everyone!
