I've drawn all my life - even made my living as an illustrator. But HATED drawing hands! You've taken the mystery out of it - and I thank you profusely !
I was just surfing around looking for drawing tutorials and I must say, your teaching method kept my interest from start to finish even though I had zero intentions to learn to draw lifelike hands. I actually feel like I can do this after your explanation, compared to other videos where I was struggling to stay focused. Thanks!
Wow, I tried the different shading techniques and am blown away by the results. I would have never guessed that drawing circles would give me such perfect shading. And so gradual. Thank you for sharing your techniques
Another fantastic tutorial Darlene. Thank you so much! What I love about your videos is that you don't waste any time with excess talking. Your videos are to the point, detailed, instructive. I love the way you break down a seemingly overwhelming photo. I am trying to draw mushrooms and I want the ridges on the underside of the caps to have depth and I'm sure that this video is just what I need to get the contours and angles look good.
By seeing the image build over time it increases my understanding as you explain each technique and then detail how it is used. Many thanks for taking the time to share this with all of us on our sketching paths.
Thank you so so so much for making this video !!! This is soooo helpful! I have always been dreading drawing hands, but with your step-by-step tutorial, it doesn't feel impossible anymore!!
My great grandmother just passed away yesterday, and I was commissioned to draw her holding my aunt’s hand. I’ve drawn hands, but never an elderly person’s hand, so I needed this to figure out what techniques to use for the details, and this has been extremely helpful. Thank you so much
I just finished watching the shadow tutorial. I struggle a lot in drawing hands and putting a shadow in it, I am just new to this channel, I am glad I found this channel. You really help me a lot
Thoroughly enjoyed this. What a great manner you have for explaining each step. I have been drawing portraits for many years but hands have always given me trouble. Can't wait to try out these techniques.
I've spent almost five hours looking up and sampling videos on the subject of wrinkles and skin this morning from all kinds of well known artists on here. Finally, this video caught my eye and has answered all of my questions and gave me the examples I need. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤Your teaching skills are highly commendable; seldom that someone who has special talent could teach specifics, and patiently explain clearly all the detailed information with emphasis. Thank you
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much. I love watching your videos. I’m learning more from you than any other artist online. I also paint. So thankful I found your video on RUclips.
I messed up at first, but didn’t give up, I tried it again and hopefully tried to get it, but the third time I got it! Just needs a little more practicing, thank you RapidFireArt, love you ❤
I've always said I couldn't draw to save my life. Since watching your videos I've drawn some quite decent drawings, not up to your standard but not bad. A big thank you to you and keep doing more videos 😀
Great tutorials. Your calming voice is a pleasant addition. Your process of step by step and rewinding is very helpful. I look forward to researching them as I learn.
I really like your detailed explanation then followed by great examples of your techniques. Thank you for putting these helpful videos together. As a photoshop user, I’m sure it takes quite a bit of time to get these videos ready to publish.
Thank youu for this amazing tutorial! I tried it and it was the first time that I looked at my drawing of a set of hands and was like: damn those are pretty hands! I am proud hehe! So thank you a lot ♥️♥️

Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world! I'm seriously taking notes on everything you say because it's all pure gold.

Thank you so much! You are clear, paced perfectly; excellent visual and auditory presentation. I could not learn to draw with the other RUclips videos. Please keep these going!
wow, what a great final product, I am realizing now that I pretty much give up when my drawing is halfway done. It always ends up looking like your halfway point, this actually inspired me to dig a little deeper and see where it leads to. Thank You!
Darlene, thank you for making these videos and sharing them on RUclips. A lot of people can draw and are great artists but very few can teach others how to draw. You are definitely one of those who can teach others how to draw and you do it very well.
I have never been able to draw a hand before like the one I just drew! I am thrilled! I love your tutorials and save them to watch over and over again. Learning so much thank you
This is a most amazing tutorial and, I believe, the best on the web. The way you break things down and go through clear, simple steps is very helpful and easy to remember.
