This first step is important to understanding how the hand is constructed and were the pivot

points are. Once you are comfortable with the proportions of the hand it will be easier to draw

it in different positions. For now let's concentrate on the basic "Spread Fingered" hand. Follow

along and study your own hand as you go.

Hands : Step 1- the oval

Draw an oval. Much like the

one you see to the left.

Designate a point on the lower

center line of the oval. This is

the anchor point we'll use for

our fingers.

Hands : Step 2- radials

Draw 5 lines radiating out

from the anchor point.

The longest line will be the

middle finger...make it just

slightly shorter than 2 oval

lenghts.

Hands : Knuckle placement

The remaining finger lengths

fall on an arc from the height of

the middle finger. The knuckle

closest to the tip of the finger is

slightly less than 1/3 the way

down from the finger tip. The

next knuckle splits the

difference between the

remaining length to the top of

the palm oval.

The thumb has 3 knuckles as

well but the anchoring is hidden

inside the palm.

Hands : Fleshing in

Flesh in the fingers as shown

here. The fingers start narrow

at the base..widen at the first

knuckle then taper down again

toward the tip. Believability is

added by drawing creases in

the places the hand bends the

most...at the knuckles and

along the palms. Look at your

own hand for reference.

Everybody's hand is slightly

different. This hand is

definately mine.

(Notice I am Right handed and

that's why my hand model is a

Left hand)

Hands : The opposable

Thumb

The thumb kinda has it's own

thing going on. It rotates

around on its own axis. The

thumb swings inward on its

Anchor Knuckle and bends

down at its second knuckle to

point at the base of the Ring

finger. The thumbs arc peaks at

the middle knuckle of the index

finger.

Hands : Finger lengths

The Index finger and the Ring

finger are nearly the same

height..about the halfway point

of the middle finger "tip". The

Ring finger is just slightly

longer.

The Pinky finger comes up to

the last knuckle line of the Ring

finger.

Notice how the hand is not

Square but Wedge shaped.

Hands are a nightmare for most artist...myself included. It's hard to contruct it in basic shapes

so I don't really try. Instead I break it up into major forms and really pay attention to where it

folds and bends. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ THE FIRST HAND TUTORIAL! This one

doesn't deal with proportions like the other did. This is more the form of the hand.

The hand is kinda like a

shovel...that's what we use it

for somtimes. You're palm

gives you the lines you need to

see were it bends. Above the

top blue line is the first row of

knuckles.

Don't make the hand a flat

wedge. It curves and follows

the contours of the lines on the

palm. Notice how the thumb

side of the palm pivots from the

center.

even when drawing the hand

from the back..pay attention to

the fold lines in the palm. It will

help you draw more natural

positions for the thumb and

fingers.

Below is a series of hand studies I drew based on the above diagrams. I kept some of my

stucture lines in tact so you could see what I was thinking when I drew them

The Foot: Know your basic forms!

Like everything else you draw, the foor also consist of basic forms.

I break it down into 3 parts.

1) a cylinder for the shin

2) a half a peanut for the front

3) A roundish shape for the heel

Side view

Here you can kinda see those basic shapes beneath the foot.

The shin comes into the ankejoint which then branches back for

the heel and forward to the toes. Notice the foot does not sit FLAT

on the ground plane..there's an arch between the toe pads and the

heel pad.

If the shoe fits...

A shoe is basically just a wrap for the basic foot shapes. Looking

at pictures of shoes will give you ideas for styles. Here I chose a

modified US Army Jungleboot. Make sure you make the Sole of

the shoe go below where the bottom of the foot would be. There's

about a 1/4 of an inch to 4" of rubber between the bottom of the

foot and the bottom of the sole.

If your stuck...

Draw the foot first. That will give you a better idea on how to wrap

the shoe around the foot form.

the Wedge

Notice how the foot is shaped like a rounded wedge the bend IN

towards the body's center. The toes are also arced like the fingers

of the hand...the middle toe is usually the longest.

The Instep

Okay, this foots a bit wide but you see the important structures.

Everyone's seen foorptints in the sand. The heel and Ball of the

foot are linked by the outside edge of the foot. The arch of the foot

doesn't come into contact with the ground.

Mastering forms in perspective

Once you understand how a foot is put together you can start

getting creative with action poses. Take a good look at those basic

shapes I drew in step one and see if you can find them in this

drawing to the left.

Practice Practice Practice!
