    The other day I thought to myself, "People without hands must have a hard time drawing cuz they don't have hand references" but then I realized that they might have more problems drawing than that

    When I was in 1st grade I drew a girl and I was really proud of it so I showed to my teacher and she said " Oh I love this drawing with the girl holding flowers!" She wasn't holding flowers that was just the hands. I'm still haunted by that to this day.

    Cool fact: I have anxiety, so my hands are always tense. They're the part of my body I mostly put pressure on so it make sense. So my pinky is always up, even when the rest of my hand is relaxed and it's SO creepy and my friends always comment about it. I found it kinda funny, they try to put it down but the "relax" state of it still is kinda up so it comes back and they get mad.
    So, a tip: if your character is stressed or anxious, you can show it with the hands. Make the pinky creepy, make the fingers look like they're on pressure. (If you want to exaggerate the anxiety or if the face isn't showing up)
    Edit: some grammar. I was sleepy while writing this

      I have a similar problem with tension in my hands. The thing i struggle with though is that I play the cello... you're meant to really relax your hands, especially when doing a technique called vibrato... it frustrated my teacher so much, cause while she said I needed to relax more, I couldn't make my hands do it!

    • @amberblyledge7859
      @amberblyledge7859 4 ปีที่แล้ว +43

      Ok, guys. I can help with this. I had to study Injury Preventative Technique for my piano playing as I was terribly tense. I had a many many many year struggle with carpel tunnel when I was super young. Apparently I never told anyone about that so I just cried my self to sleep for years.
      So for the pinky staying up thing, here's what you do. I want you to look at your forearm and then wiggle your fingers in as large a motion as possible without pain, don't strain, there's no point. You should see wiggling in the top of your forearm closer to your elbow. These are the Extensors. What you need to do is feel around untill you get a little bump right where it's wiggling. Probably will hurt a bit. ONce you locate that bump rub it with your other hand for a few minutes. It will hurt. That is good. After you finish rubbing it you should feel a difference when you wiggle your fingers again.
      As for the Cello, I'll do my best. I've never been able to play instruments like that. I would recomend the same steps as above and a secondary practice, if this works, of some scales. Yes, yes, I know. Scales are a pain in the butt, but bare with me. What I did for piano was play one note at a time, as relaxed in my body as I could get. I would play that single note with correct technique, putting my finger up and down untill I got the tension out of my other fingers. Then my wrist, elbow, shoulders, trapezius muscles. It takes concentration, practice, time, pacing, and NOT RUSHING. DO NOT RUSH! DO NOT RUSH YOUR FINGER, DO NOT RUSH YOUR MIND, DO NOT RUSH YOUR BODY!! It will feel like freaking forever. I would reccomend a meditation talk down for helping your mind and body to relax, as they talk you through each part of your body.
      Then, it's on to the next finger untill you can pick it up and down on the cello without being tense in your other fingers, repeating that. Then start SLOW scales.
      I have rushed before. It did not end well. If you have a metronome, you could put it all the way as slow as it will go and then put your finger on the string one one beat, and release the next beat. SUPER slow. You should be able to go faster with dedicated practice in just a week's time.
      Disclaimer again, you should probably double check this with your teacher as I am an Organist. I ain't got no strangs!

      Yup, yup! As long as you can tell it is a hand then it is good enough. Plus, especially if you're going to be a character designer or animator, learning how to do stylized hands is golden! If you can break your regular hand drawings, then you can draw old, knobby hands, children's hands, thin and creepy hands.

    @cdarklock 4 ปีที่แล้ว +600

    Anatomically, your ring finger's tendons are tightly interlocked with the middle and pinky fingers, so you should almost always draw the ring finger touching one or the other of them. Also, when you hold something long in your hand, you will almost always lay it diagonally across the palm - it doesn't go from the bottom of the index finger to the bottom of the pinky finger, but from the crook of the thumb and forefinger to the joint of the wrist on the opposite side. Think of the little muscle mass alongside the thumb (the thenar prominence) as the surface on which the object is resting; the angle of whatever your character is holding will follow it closely, and the tips of the fingers will usually mirror its arc.

    I think the reason why hands are so difficult to draw are that everyone *knows* what a hand looks like. When you know something well, you know it like the back of your hand. We’re lookin’ at them all day, so it’s harder to make them stylised without it lookin’ weird. Same goes with eyes, we see other people’s eyes all the time, it’s what our brains are naturally drawn to when we see something. So if you’re struggling, don’t be so down on yourself^^

    I’ve always tried to avoid hands at ALL costs
    I’ve tried hiding them in pockets, behind their backs, off the actual frame, in their hair, tried drawing portraits from shoulder up, behind another person, literally everything. Hands have always been my weakness and every time I incorporate them into my already beautiful drawing, it just ruins its completely

    I get how most people draw “smooth hands” but some draw realistic hands and it goes better with their art style, so I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s the do’s and don’ts. I mean, art is not just simple black and white, right and wrong.

    I remember the last time I tried to learn how to draw hands. I did them and posted the picture excitedly on Facebook because they looked really good as the proportions all fit
    Someone said I fucked up because it looked like all the fingers were broken
    I was directly copying my own hand and I have weird fingers
    I felt terrible for ages since then and stopped trying to draw. It's been a few years now. Maybe it's about time I tried again
