100+ Shadow Art Hand Ideas

Drawing hands takes a lot of practice. Hands are usually quite complicated with many subtle transitions between darkness and lights. The forms overlap and need to be studied very carefully to generate acceptable realism. There are also many edges, cracks, and creases.

It's important that you do not ignore the many angles that are in hand. The hands are much sharper than the memorized images that are embedded in our memories. Therefore, it is very easy to make the mistake of playing the hands too fat and rounded so that leads to unnatural rounding.

Here are some pointers that will give you a basic memory package for hand drawing. When I say "memory packet", I mean a series of memorization about pulling a hand that should be in the foreground of your thinking every time you pull a hand. This is a facility that you should develop with every portrait feature like eye, ear, etc.

* Simplify

Generally, the type of subject of photography will have so much detail that it needs to be simplified, leaving a lot of detail. Of course, you must develop a facility to eliminate the correct details and save the important ones. This is where your artistic sensitivity plays a major role. Making the right choice makes all the difference.

The same goes for hand drawing. Hands usually have a lot of detail in it so you have to throw out the unimportant details. At first, notice the main form, called mass. You do not want to miss it.

Remember, at this stage, try not to think too much about how the hand should look, just draw the shape as it is.

* Man and woman

There are many differences between a man's hand and a woman's hand. On average, men's hands are bigger and bigger. For example the fingers are less tapering and thicker than the female. The woman's hand was slender and the fingertips were much more pointed than her fingers. The fact that females (generally!) Have no hairy hands adds a bright color.

* Value

First, avoid breaking the hand in any way. Let the edge be formed by applying the correct contrast in the value. Study it very carefully. Notice where one finger overlaps and make sure to include all the shadow shadows.

In addition, it is important to make reflected light on each finger because that is what will give the finger around and the three-dimensional view.

* Angles and Planes

Hands are very surprising, not as much round as we thought. Joints and knuckles have a variety of areas for those who need to be given carefully.

* Blending

Keep hand mixing very smooth. Blend the darkness to the surface they belong to. In this way there is no confusion as to which dark line surface is his property. Again, do not forget the reflection of the reflection of the fingers. This will create the illusion of peripheral fingers.

Hands can be used to enhance the visual effects of your pencil portrait pictures. For example, adding a hand to a baby image makes it all the more captivating. Therefore, adding a hand to the portrait is always something to consider. With this, I think you can have a good start when drawing a hand. And remember, practice, practice, and practice again. Drawing is a direct art, so to speak.
