How to Draw Hands | starting with just 3 simple shapes

For this video, I wanted to show you all how I've managed to get use to drawing hands. It took some time getting use to and I eventually realized that I have my own little method. Hands can be super intimidating to draw, but also super important in any figure drawing. Our hands have a huge range of motions and angles that can be really hard to capture, but once you see my method, I hope I help you gain a little more confidence in tackling those sketches and bettering your drawing skills!
What kinds of "How To"s would you guys like to see in the future? Comment down below and I might just film your idea! ;)

[@terriffingtea]

Thanks a bunch! I've tried a lot of other tutorials and not really did much and they all seemed a bit too complicated and I if I'm gonna draw hands in all of my drawings I don't want them to take too long, but this one isn't nearly as complicated as the others. Thank you!

[@thabothubane6607]

Wow I just drew the best hand I’ve ever drawn in my life😭😭😭😭Thank you so much!!!!!

[@sanlvxr]

when all of the sudden you can draw hands now: 😶
this tutorial was great especially the mitten part!

[@ProtoIndoEuropean88]

Finally I find a video that explains logic on how to draw hands and not just how to draw hands. People can't make tutorials these days

[@bangkuwarteg4719]

that inside circles are very helpful to get a natural look of each finger, thanks a lot!

[@BurningLuckYT]

Honestly i draw the hands of my drawings behind their back or in their pockets but sometimes i draw the hand. I really like this tutorial! New sub!

[@xeztia]

"today im going to show you how to break the hand"

[@indayprincesschannel]

This is really helpful i can now draw hands for my drawings😄😄😄😄

[@anshi8791]

I think the reason why your video was more effective than others was your suggestion that we use our hands as a reference and in this particular audience a lot of people have already tried the outlines everything but for some miraculous reason you suggestion that we use our hands as reference really stuck and wow I can finally draw them hands :D

[@blackdazzy]

i have been finding videos that makes sense while sketching from scratch thanks for this video. i hope I could share my first hand sketch as well here. thank you so much.

[@heavymetalnreflective]

My life has be changed for the good! Thank you so much!

[@romanarts6645]

This is the best hand tutorial on Yt. Draw Like a Sir had a great one but definitely not beginner friendly. Just the way you demonstrated the breaking down of each part of the hand into much simpler shapes was good, and you actually displayed it visually rather than just saying it. Slayyyyyyy

[@iheartseals]

you’re a lifesaver!

[@ZZEENN_.]

I remember that day when i want to draw a cool drawing that i made by hand, at the last step of drawing the outline, i had to draw my hand to look like i am "drawing the drawing of the drawing" ( sorry if you don't understand ), but instead of finishing the drawing, i had struggles to draw my own hand, BECAUSE I AM USING MY LEFT HAND TO DRAW! And also, i ruin my drawing and i quit on finishing it. So that's my story on struggles at drawing hand, and this is why i am watching this. I'm happy that i can share my story with you guys😊

[@lydiaritchey9203]
