My artwork permissionsI've noticed a sudden upsurge of the people I watch complaining about their artwork being ripped off, and usually it's the really obvious stuff like their characters being used without their consent. That, I hope I haven't have had happen to me yet, but I do find it rather disturbing that they are starting to complain of people taking their artwork and coloring over it to make their own rendition of it. I don't see anything wrong with this, really, as I have done it in the past, but I've made sure that it's only with stuff that people say it's okay with, and I always link back to them when I post something.

Basic Hand Drawing Tutorialby ~ShaydetheDragon

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Other

Here's a quick, and I mean quick, little tutorial on how to draw a human/anthro hand. I designed it to be really easy...the way I taught myself is waaaay too complicated to do in one tutorial, and most people won't understand a lot of it because of the way I learned. It's kind of a challenge, turning something I'm so used to doing my way into something that is user-friendly for millions of people. I thought, "It has to be in-depth enough to teach efficiently, but it has to be simple enough so that even a beginner will be able to understand and use it to their advantage...how do I do this..?"

Well...it took me all day to figure out, but I did it, and I've got it posted...and the cool part is that it's less than 12 hours after

requested that it be done! He's had a lot of trouble drawing hands, and I figured, hey, why not do what I aim to do, and actually make a tutorial! It was fun to work on this, and I really hope that this quick bit actually does help people at least a little.

It may look like I skipped a few steps, but I actually didn't. The reason for this is because I do everything so differently(I'm a perfectionist...), and I have my own particular style of doing things. Rather than give you my style, I'm giving you guys a base to go off of and create your own styles, so your art can be truly unique.

Now, this tutorial is not going to teach everything...but it covers enough for you to grasp onto the concepts and all. the hand can be drawn from any angle...the trick is getting the shapes just right. For that, I suggest either going to different websites and looking at different pictures of people's hands, or you can use your own hands too Another thing you can do, you can use

to look at a couple of hand poses that I drew a while back.

Also, you can use

by ~MattHockensmith as a reference, as he was gracious enough to allow me to link the two together.

Now...go forth, and modify, my pets!

AND STAY OUT OF THE REFRIDGERATOR!

Note...sorry for my atrocious handwriting...

Oh, and please link me to how this helped you. That way, I can get a better sense of how to improve this and optimize it.
