How to draw hands for beginners by Fashion teaching

When drawing hands, you will start with the cylinder of the hand. Then make sure you will draw the plateau as having the same size as the fingers area. And I will note these 2 equal areas with X.

Each plateau has a trapezoidal shape. One trapeze the small base in the upper part, the other trapeze has the small size in the lower part. The segment between the 2 areas we will split into

4 equal parts - each A segment will represent the size of a finger.

Make sure you will use round lines to create the axes for each phalanx.

The first phalanx is the bigger one from all 3.

The second that follows is medium and the last one, the smallest. Each one of the 3 has a symmetry line in the middle.

After drawing the axes, start drawing the cylinders, meaning the primary shapes that will help you draw the fingers at the end.

I will underline once again the proportions between the phalanges in this easy formula.



We go now to the last phase: the connection between the shapes. I noted with F the front plane of the hand, and with L the lateral side of the hand. Each element should have at least these 2 planes.

Then I start underlining the finger shapes and at then end, the thumb.

For the second hand, we practice the same steps.

Tip: you can easily draw your left hand, or get inspired by some magazines to study classic hand poses in a fashion sketch.

Otherwise, you can ask a friend to take some photos of your hands and then all you have to do is to draw after them. At the end of my video, I will add some photos with hands, so that you can draw after them.
