eyy im artin here

i sometimes joke w/ my friends that one day i woke up and suddenly could draw hands and its sort of true. i find it hard to describe what my process is but ill try.

fundamentals bore me so i skip over them and basically focus on getting the basic shape/silhouette down, through a lot of trial and error. for a basic pose, usually this works:

then i fill it in. i either use the one on the left as is, or i continue by erasing bits of it and drawing over.

for other angles and poses its the same sort of process for me. shape/silhouette first (most often using my own hand as a reference) and then fill in the inside, erase to add details like bends in the fingers and folds on the palm.

i usually add the thumb in last, as its easier for me (and sometimes isnt visible at certain angles.)
