Sometimes, drawing a hand can be inaccurate, which affects the overall beauty of the drawing. That's why today I will show you some effective and simple methods to help you improve your skills in drawing a hand beautifully and consistently with your character drawing style. So, get your notebooks and drawing pencils ready, and let's start this fun training together!
General shape of hand drawing sketch
- We begin by drawing a square, and inside it three horizontal lines, so that we divide the palm in an orderly fashion.
- From inside each column, a line will emerge upwards, and there will be the fingers.
- In the middle of each of the lines of the fingers that protrude outwards, we draw a circle, and these will be the joints of the anime fingers. The same applies to the thumb, which we will draw in the left section alone.
Adding details of the anime hand
After we have finished drawing the basic outline of the anime hand, we now begin to add details based on what we have drawn previously.
We should draw the fingers around the outline; we can control how thick the fingers or the palm itself are, and don't forget to draw the wrinkles of the palm from the inside.
Hand sections
I will show you how to draw an anime hand in a different style, where we draw two overlapping triangles, and we will have a gap on the sides of the structure, and there we will draw the thumb. It is necessary that the inner section be slightly inward, and the outer section of the hand be protruding outward, and the area from which the arm comes out will curve slightly inward.
This method is suitable for drawing manga, in order to speed up the pace of work.
finger painting
- The model on the right tells us where to draw the thumb, since we will draw a triangle outside the square.
- In the middle, you can see how we draw three lines inside the square, which will help us draw the fingers.
- On the left, we add the lines that we will draw outside the square, and what will help us to determine their positions correctly are those four spaces that were formed after we drew the three lines inside the square itself.
Hand bends
After we finish drawing the anime hand, we add the small details that will make the difference, including those curves inside the palm, using the initial structure. When we draw the fingers, there should be small gaps between the base of the fingers.
How to master drawing anime hands in easy and professional steps
And let's not forget the bones in the hand, including the thumb bone that separates it from the other fingers. As for the fingertips, they can be pointed or rounded.
This picture will show you some of the fine lines we need in drawing the hand, such as the lines separating the fingers, the lines inside the palm, and there is a line that is located at the base of the hand and is very important.
When drawing anime fingers, it is wrong for the finger roots to be stuck together; rather, there should be a small line separating each finger from the next.
As for the thumb, we will draw a line that comes out of the finger and extends into the palm. This is one of the most important lines of all, and it cannot be dispensed with when we draw the palm.
during hand drawing In the anime style, it is important to study your real hand or pictures of a real hand to better understand the distribution of the fingers and joints, and then simplify the shapes in your own anime style. This helps you add your own distinctive touches while maintaining consistency in drawing the hand in all positions and movements.
I hope this lesson on drawing hands in anime has helped you understand the correct way to draw anime hands in a beautiful and easy style. It is essential that you practice continuously drawing hands in multiple positions. Thank you for following along and I look forward to seeing you in future lessons, God willing.
