I just discovered the ultimate hand drawing technique during class today. I call it, the FOOT METHOD observe,
So first we draw the sole of a foot like this:
Than we add three circles (like toes)
Now we add a "flap"
And a little oval
And the thumb
the rest of the fingers:
the best part of this technique is that it works almost always, like so
Now I'm leaving a more in depth explanation for this under the cut
alright so the hand is actually two separate pieces, the palm and the thumb.
The palm is kind of foot shaped and the thumb is a triangle
So I figured it would be easier to draw if I were to simplify it into two shapes instead of one it'd be easier to foreshorten.
And I was right!
The "foot" doesn't really move at all so if you want to foreshorten it all you got to do is change the size depending on the pose.
Where as the "flap" often changes completely, but at it's core it's mostly triangle shaped, So keep that in mind.
If you're doing a side view, then if we're looking at it from the thumb side it's usually a triangle and if we're looking at it from the pinky it's usually a rectangle.
Fingers are a whole other ordeal, but the main thing I noticed is that they start out thick, are thinnest in the middle and thick at the tip.
Thumbs are two joints connected to the "flap" opposed to the three joints of the rest of the fingers.
Aaand that all I got! I hope this helps somebody :D
After a while, I noticed that in the last lesson on skin, I did not touch on everything I would like to talk about. My inner perfect did not give me peace. Now I have completed everything and am sharing it with you.
Be sure to keep it so as not to lose it.
Write in the comments what other tutorials you would like.
