What we will be drawing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome, and thanks for checking out the how to draw a hand holding something tutorial. Hands are always a little tricky but hopefully, this tutorial gives you some ideas on how to plan out your hands and draw them in different poses and angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next few steps will be mapping out our underdrawing. When drawing hands, the initial planning is very important. We need to make sure we get the proportions correct or our hands will look off. Take your time here and correct as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We like to draw a little circle where there are joints. This helps visualize the distance between knuckles, wrists and all the hand parts before committing too much to the drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 15<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our underdrawing is pretty much complete, so we can start to use a bit darker lines for our hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, there are a million different variations of this tutorial, with different hand poses holding different objects. Hopefully, you got something from how we plan and draw hands. See you in the next one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
