How to sketch and draw hands

Drawing a hand gif.

To draw hands, you need to look past the complexity of the hand's anatomy and recognise simple rules that will help you draw from a model or even your own imagination. Although they're notoriously tricky to get right, there are some sketching tips and tricks you can use.

To help you, we've got three tutorials by artists Kate Oleska, Brynn Metheney and Stan Prokopenko to help you explore hands. First, Kate breaks the process down into four simple steps to create a quick sketch. She starts by exploring the structure of the hand, and then looks at how to translate this into a drawing. Watch the video below, and follow her written steps beneath that.
