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 :iconmancoin: 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.
