Manga >.< Can't draw HANDS~~!!

[RurOuniGrL2]

Ugh can someone give me some tips on how 2 draw hands- or feet- made easy?! omg, my "hands and feet" always turn out so bad when i draw them! :animecry: .. and i am so sick of erasing the certain part of the picture over and over until i rub a hole right through it~~!! :mad:

[kitsunekami]

um, well..... hands are probably the hardest things for me to... i learned to draw hands by just looking at hands in anime n such until i got it right. just practice alot and you'll eventually get the hang of it.

I agree with kitsunekami just keep practicing is all i can tell you^^

[saiyukigod]

hands were hard for me but i got the hang of it :animesigh
just grab a sheet of paper and fill it up with hands in different positions
i know-i know it suckz but it helps :D
sorry got carried away-i talk to much :animeswea

[RurOuniGrL2]

[kitsunekami]

hey, i just found on my computer these pictures of hands... they're shojo style, and have multiple postitions n stuff. i could send em to you if you want.

[font=trebuchet ms]I don't come in here very much do I?

What I do is take my free hand and position it how I need it, then you just draw all the hard lines you see, it's easier with than without. If you need the other hand, get a digital camera and photograph your hand in that position, or just get a mirror.

Hope I helped.[/font]

ohh alrite, ^^ i'll try that out too, thanks! :animesmil

I tend to also use my own hands as reference. Though, the hands I draw always seem kind of off. You should just pratice drawing them, and avoid hiding them. I'm sure an anatomy book would have a section with hands and feet. Those could also be used as reference

[size=1] When I need to draw hands I just put my hand in the position and draw it, I find it works alot.[/size]

Do some excercises on hands and feet outside your drawings. For example, everything that's been mentioned above maybe even taking a step back and tracing around your own hand or foot, then trying to replicate it. Personally, I take inspiration from Egon Schiele when it comes to hands (but don't look him up if you're sensitive to eroticism) because they're very expressive and look like hands even when they're out of proportion. I tend to draw one continuous line for hands to achieve that effect, but you can try it too to loosen up your technique and make you more daring when you approach it in a proper drawing.
