One thing that you need to look for when drawing hands are the shadows. The shadows will give the hands the depth and the realistic markings that they need. Also don't forget the highlights. Sometimes where the light hits is just as important as where the shadows are.
As you can see you don't have to shade everything dark, but there is not just shading on one side of the hand or on the side of it. Both sides have some coloring to give the rounded feeling of a 3D object.
Does it help to look at pictures like this when thinking about drawing your own project? I don't want you to copy but does this help show the shading?

Hands
Like learning to draw anything one of the most difficult things to draw are hands. There are so many lines, wrinkles and differences in someone's hands that it is hard to create a realistic drawing.

ReplyDeleteThese are neat. I like how these are 3-D and looks like you can grab them. You would have to be talented to do this.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome how they make them pop out at you. You have an amazing talent if you could do this. I think we worked on something like this earlier in the year.

ReplyDeleteThe hands look so real! Especially the shading is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt is insane how real the hands look! I think this would be a very fun, yet challenging project. For me, this would take a lot of time and practice. The shading looks very well done.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be easier to look at a picture and draw it. I feel like it would help you see all the shadows and highlights of the picture. I really do feel like shadows help with the depth and perspective of a drawing of a hand.

ReplyDeletei really like these pictures they are really cool. on the top one the light on the hands really brings out the picture
ReplyDeleteI love love love drawing hands. They can be so simple, yet intricate. The lighting and shadows are so fun to find. That was definitely one of my favorite projects we did.
ReplyDeleteI can't really draw hands, but I try to stay professional and not just put them behind or in something.
ReplyDeleteI'm not good at drawing hands so this make me feel bad about my drawings. Not something I want to do. I would hate to do this.
ReplyDeleteThis art work defiantly takes perception and along with observational skills to be able to precive the direction the light should hit the hand in orderd to give it a relistic type feel.Along with the observational skills to see the tiny creveses and lines you must form to creat proper joints and nails.i like the interecet look of the 3d formating for sure.
ReplyDeleteThese really stick out which makes them so cool and different then others. It looks very realistic.Most people are going to buy something that sticks out to them.
