I started teaching myself to draw last year. I am now 41 and drawing hands is like the scariest part of any drawing I do lol. I appreciate this video so much.
Palm is one of those places where it really, really helps to know the detailed surface anatomy including skin folds, creases, bumps and valleys so as to be able to draw one in different actions. Meaning, you cannot fake the authenticity of a well drawn hand unlike a leg or a torso.
Hope you know 3 years later your videos are still a fantastic resource which offer a unique perspective and form of explanation to learning artists. Thank you very much.
Mate, an amazing lesson. One can always tell when a ‘teacher’ knows their stuff because the subject becomes clear, demystified. No waxing lyrical in Latin, just a beautiful and pragmatic abstraction of one of the most complex and expressive forms in Anatomy. Almost like Bridgman jumped out of a textbook and started talking as he drew. Many thanks!
I thought that my hands were already ok, but this video was actually really helpful. You mentioned a lot of tips and tricks that a lot of other tutorials I’ve watched don’t really cover so it’s much appreciated. Thank you so much and I love you art!
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
underrated. so underrated. it should be mandatory everyone watches this before learning. i have been skipping around youtube lately watching so many people draw hands and drawing with them, i go into every video like a fresh canvas without any bias and i honestly found the tips you listed the most helpful and easy to apply. I didnt realize how much i never knew until this
Ok for those who are struggling to understand I will break this into steps you can follow for the hand outline or drawing it. Step 1: rewind the part your confused about a few times and try to follow his pencil’s movement for better understanding of the outline and drawing Step 2: hands are like a slice of bread with tubes on the end so try and imagine that instead of a square with rectangles on the end of it Step 3: try and pause every time he draws to get a better understanding I legit can’t stress this enough people just look at videos to the end without even trying to understand then complain how it’s useless Step 4: try and follow his strokes and outline then pause the video and attempt to do what he did then when you did your best do it a few more times, then try to sketch without the video to see if you improved Step 5: don’t get mad when your drawing/sketch doesn’t look as good as his remember he is a professional that has probably been drawing way before you were born so give yourself some lower standards and be happy with what YOU learned
As I always say- there is always room for improvement. Others may see your work and say that it's perfect- but you as an artist will always be aware of mistakes and that's okay, but you don't ever need to be hard on yourself. You are your own worst critique.
When I pause and look at one of your sketched hands I spend the first couple seconds thinking “half of these lines just mistakes from quickly sketching” then I look at it for a bit longer and am amazed that every line has a meaning. This thought process continues to repeat every time you do another hand.
This tutorial is incredibly informative. I felt like the information provided is a great addition/supplement to Dave's full-length Gnomon videos on hands and feet.
The way you explained fingers was seriously so helpful, I feel like my understanding increased immediately! Thank you for having these up for free, it’s very helpful!
Thank you so much. I actuallly learned how to draw hands! I had to watch this video a couple of times again but eventually my hands actually started to look like hands and it's all thanks to this!
I find your videos very dense. Its not a vice, its just unique. I am rewarded by rewatches of your stuff more than others. Your quick easy drawing via concave and convex lines is part of whats inspiring about your videos. RIght at 24:06 there is a good example of you putting down a thumb in two strokes like you wield the Blade of Zorro. It's like you're signing a letter. Or ringing a bell?
Hey David...if it's not much to ask...can you do a tutorial on Human composition in perspective (1,2,3) and how to finish it within a time limit (like in 30-45 mins) please 🙏
@@DavidFinchartist i second this. i really needed it to improve :( human composition in perspective is really hard for me especially when background is accounted for.
David, you are an amazing teacher. I've learned more from you, then I have with over 30 years of drawing and reading and studying art books. You convey it in such a way that it's so easy to absorb. Thanks for all the tutorials!!! I'm a HUGE FAN!!
Wow, this is literally a master class in something that is vitally important in drawing and so hard to get right and dynamic, yet this is so easy to follow and the way it's all broken down is terrific. Isn't the internet cool sometimes?!?! Really enjoying the Monday Night Draw streams too, thanks! I was curious how long Dave is doing the Walking Dead covers for? I've been picking those books up just for his cover art.
I was following this and drawing the hands you drew as your drew them and explained what you were doing, and I'm amazed with how well them came out! This has been so so helpful. Thank you!!
Facts....Every time he makes a rough sketch to just show how things work, for example in anatomy, hands,feet or torso/pelvis. I feel like I cant even draw that lol

It always impresses me how you can break the most complex down to something easily understandable. Thanks David!
Thanks Erick!

Lol he made it a lot harder but it was easier to understand though...

the video editor is incredible. the speed ups when shading and the slow down on the drawing strokes really is a nice subtlety. well done.

how did u go 40 years without trying to learn how to draw???
Palm is one of those places where it really, really helps to know the detailed surface anatomy including skin folds, creases, bumps and valleys so as to be able to draw one in different actions. Meaning, you cannot fake the authenticity of a well drawn hand unlike a leg or a torso.
Drawing so confidently like that is just so amazing to see, That line confidence is something I really aspire to attain soon.
Hope you know 3 years later your videos are still a fantastic resource which offer a unique perspective and form of explanation to learning artists. Thank you very much.
Also a big fan of using the phrase “slash in” for large strokes of detail that you just sorta add, def gonna use that

Also there's Drawing Dynamic Hands by Burne Hogarth that has a rod and ball method for drawing hands.
Ok for those who are struggling to understand I will break this into steps you can follow for the hand outline or drawing it.
Step 1: rewind the part your confused about a few times and try to follow his pencil’s movement for better understanding of the outline and drawing
Step 2: hands are like a slice of bread with tubes on the end so try and imagine that instead of a square with rectangles on the end of it
Step 3: try and pause every time he draws to get a better understanding I legit can’t stress this enough people just look at videos to the end without even trying to understand then complain how it’s useless
Step 4: try and follow his strokes and outline then pause the video and attempt to do what he did then when you did your best do it a few more times, then try to sketch without the video to see if you improved
Step 5: don’t get mad when your drawing/sketch doesn’t look as good as his remember he is a professional that has probably been drawing way before you were born so give yourself some lower standards and be happy with what YOU learned
