ABOUT THIS LESSON

Hands are hard to draw... even experienced artists have a tough time getting them down onto the page correctly!

With all their moving parts and complex configurations, they're almost as difficult to master as the entire human body itself!

But just like anything else, with the right approach we can streamline the process for drawings hands, increase our chances of success, and make it a heck of a lot easier all at the same time.

This lesson is about foreshortening the Mannequin Model hand. You'll learn the basic building blocks used to construct it, then how to pose and represent the mannequin hand in multiple, foreshortened points of view.

You'll discover that if you can foreshorten cylinder and block forms, you can foreshorten hands as well - with practice and an approach that works.
