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 learned more about drawing by watching this tutorial than a year's worth of courses and work. Amazing teacher, instruction . . .and I love the relaxing music! Thank you!
You have crossed the limit of neatness, Rapid Fire. I think this channel must be the top art tutorial channel in the history of RUclips. Like who agrees.
Love your work and how well you teach us how to draw. Im 70 and I have just started this summer to teach myself how to draw and im loving it! Thank you so much!
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.

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.
Amazing artist and amazing teacher. On youtube there are many artists who just show you their drawing technique but you my Dear are a teacher. I am a retired educator having taught at the university level too. Thank you for the work you but into your videos and your sharing spirit to really teach.
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
The best teaching I ever seen!!! I've been drawing for years, but I never use line of action. Now I learn that, and I can try to make my drawing more precisely.
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 😀
Wow that I could say “ you are so amazing “. Thanks for showing us your how to draw hands and shading. I could’nt wait to watch more of your beautiful arts
i didnt know how to draw hands and i looked for some tutorials and none of them actually did it step by step. then i found yours and it helped me a lot. thank you so much for posting all of these amazing art tutorials. this doesnt just help me it helps a lot of people who want to draw and don't know how. i really appreciate it. keep up the good work😊.
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!
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 have watched a number of your tutorials. I have also watched videos from other youtube instructors. I am a teacher myself. I'd like to say that your style, quality of video and teaching technique are the best of any that I have seen. You are patient and clear, and you take the time in your videos to explain everything so well.
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
I've watched this entire thing and never in my life had I drawn outside of school, can't believe the difference after just a few steps and how effective these techniques are.
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.
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. I never had the opportunity to go to art school and am now playing "catch up." I really appreciate how you put such valuable information into context to make what's complex, "easy" and understandable.
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!!
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.
I'm nine years old and woah I can't believe I drew this beautiful hand from scratch. I love your vids, my teacher showed us a video and everyone is surprised they could now draw a face :3

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!
This was really great tutorial and I really appreciate the way you clear all the points in detail with drawings, and really bad to hear about your grandmother hope she rest in peace, will follow all your tutorial and improved more in me.
