Hand Study

Hello everyone, here are my studies on hand. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I would say focus a little more in capturing on proportion in the hand and keep the proper rotation of the reference don't make thing easier to draw.

For the hand look carefully at the shape of the big finger it very different from the rest of the finger so it important to make the hand look realistic.

As i said before try to help yourself by keeping your study close to the reference material once you have a solid grasp of your construction you can always try to work to interpret the reference.

To pick up on where muscle group are unearth the skin look at where there is change in the value by looking at the reference.

I would say also if your going to post many drawing add some kind of notation system like A B C D E on every page so it easier to give feedback otherwise feedback can be hard to interpret.It might be easier to work on big canva where you put all the drawing in one image with a good resolution.

What do you mean by "big finger"? Is it the thumb?

yes sorry must have been a very quick reply...

I'm not so good at drawing hands so don't take my advice too seriously...
First thing given the effort you put in those studies, I would chose only good quality pictures to serve as your model. If the picture is pixelated, you end up having to guess more and can less see the underlying volumes of the hand. The third is so blurry I feel pain at the thought of interpreting it! You can use the search option in google to have bigger pictures only.

It might be interesting, in order to feel better the relationship between fingers, to add another layer and draw arcs between the different phalanges. They are generally arranged around curves and I feel like it helps understanding the movements of the hands, as well as their 3D.

Good job learning the underlying structures. I'd also suggest breaking down each part of the finger into its own 3d shape and make sure it's accurate to your reference. Also, take special care to notice how the shape of the end of the fingers change. The poses you picked are complicated, so I would also suggest trying simpler poses. I think you'd have a bit of an easier time. Nice work!
