ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Hand

In this lesson, we will learn how to properly draw the anatomical hand. First, we will focus on studying the basic proportions and structure of the hand, and then we will move on to detailing, tone, and volume. Using various techniques, we will create a realistic image that conveys the dynamics and forms of the hand.
