How to Draw the Hand Step by Step- (Peace Sign)
How to Draw the Hand Step by Step- (Peace Sign)














You have three resources to work from. 1.) the video 2.) The step by step directions on this page 3.) A printable PDF (Link at bottom) with step by step directions. Take your time! I have noticed that the most successful students look at their reference image more often. Remind yourself to look at the reference image at least once for every five seconds (This is especially important during the shading).











If you get stuck, refer to the video. Leave a comment at the bottom and let me know how you did! If you want to E-Mail me a picture of your work ( kazanjianm@gmail.com ). I will post it on this page! Good Luck! Cool




                                                                               Step by Step


 


















Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 1


Step 1: Draw the two fingertip shapes. Notice that the fingertip on the left is at a different angle than the fingertip at the right.



Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 2


Step 2: Add the next two shapes. Notice that they are slightly longer than the fingertip shapes.



Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 3


Step 3: Draw the trapezoid shape in addition to the two shapes that complete the fingers. Notice that the bottoms of the fingers are slightly longer than the mid sections of the fingers.



Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 4


Step 4: Step four is the trickiest step. Give it some extra observation time. Notice that the thumb overlaps the trapezoid shape. Also, notice that the thumb in this position, resembles a flying saucer tilting to the side.....TES....a flying saucer with a thumbnail in it.



 Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 5


Step 5: Draw the traingle shape. Notice that it is directly below the V shape from the two fingers. Also notice the tiny shape that I made tp the right side of the thumb.



 Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 6


Step 6: Draw the tilted U shape, to the left of the triangle. Also, draw in the fingernail.

Step 9: Add in the fingertip and fingernail to complete the shape for the pinky finger.

Step 10: Add the triangle shape next to the pinky finger. This will eventually be part of the palm.

Step 11: Add in the shape for the lower palm.



 Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 12


Step 12: Observe the line that was just added. It is similar to the bottom of a cup. It starts at the middle of the ring finger and ends at the thumb shape from Step 4.

SHADING


Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 14


Step 14: Now, take a second to observe the lines that I ALMOST totally erased.


Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 15


Step 15: Build the tones up slowly. Start cross hatching with an HB (#2) pencil.


Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 16


Step 16: (NOT SHOWN) I use a blending stump to smudge my hatches. And then I do more hatching atop of the smudges.


Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 17


Step 17: The darkest parts will be the triangle in the center and the areas on the edges of the right side of the hand (and fingers....see this developed in the next few steps).


Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 18


Step 18: At this point I am using my darker (in tone) 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B pencils. I also use the eraser (A LOT) to create highlights.


Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 19


Step 19: I always try to finish a drawing by smoothing it out by using the pencil, the eraser and the blending stub (tortillion).


Draw the Hand Step By Step Peace Sign 20


Step 20: Finished!

My Relationship with Dickblick Art Materials goes back to when I was a rookie teacher in 2001. Art teachers have limited budgets and we are forced to “shop around” to find the best deals. In almost every case, Blick has the best prices and their customer service is AMAZING! They made me a loyal customer over the course of my entire teaching career. Now that I am a full time artist, I have chosen to become an affiliate of Blick, I only endorse companies that I believe in, and products that I USE (See my videos). Right now Blick is offering: FREE SHIPPING on orders totaling $200 or moreand the best “ON SALE” deals for art supplies on the internet. Hot Deals of the Week!
