What do you mean? Going into detail is extremely helpful. Some people really need the help, especially if they aren't familiar with drawing hands. I bet if he had 5 word examples, you would still complain.

Hey there! I've returned a number of times to this tutorial, and it's certainly helped, and I wanna step up my ability to draw hands and feet. So I'm just wondering if you have any recommendations for practicing? Are there any practices or exercises that you find works? Aside from drawing a ton of hands (which isn't a problem but I'm curious about different approaches too). Thanks for your time and for sharing with us!

Try looking at a skeleton hand, like, google for a pic! You can even take a marker and try and draw the skeleton on your skin

I remembered this from a few years back, and loved it, but for some reason now only the tiny version shows; there's something wrong with the full-size version. Is it possible to re-upload it?
π: 0 β©: 1
weird... large size is showing for me... you can also push the "download" button, that will show you the image at the full size!

I could say thank you probably a million times and it wouldn't be enough.Β
I am an artist struggling so much with hands and you just saved me so much, I made quite an awesome hand just now.
I'm amazed I finally did it

Haha never would I have thought the thing I use to draw would in fact be so hard to draw itself. Bah, this tutorial is a thing of beauty of course.

By any chance would you have a tutorial for drawing hands in repose at the sides (you know, just resting naturally)? For me that's the worst they just end up looking like blobs
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't have a tut for that in particular, but here are some tips... note how the fingers interact in relation to each other. Are the pressed together, slightly apart? Note the curve of the fingers. Are they really curled? tense? straight? etc. Note where the thumb is and what it's doing, and what angle it's at (I use the thumbnail as a guide to tell).
But overall, the very best way to draw any kind of hand/ pose is simply to make it yourself, with your own body... really depends on the character! If they're modeling clothes, maybe the hand should be hanging naturally. But if someone is in a determined way, maybe their hand pose has more energy to it. It's fun to do your own acting, and really teaches you how to look at the way you draw
