All language subtitles for 11. Hands

Hey, everyone, in this video, I will be covering hands and feet and we're just going to be doing

very simple breakdowns of the hand and the feet and do some poses as well.

So just to make it simple for myself, I have my reference pictures on my phone and I'm just going to

be using that as reference.

You guys also will have this reference sheet in your dealable resources.

So go ahead and use those if you want to follow along with me.

So let's first go on with hands.

Now, when it comes to your hand, it's good to understand the basic your basic shapes in your hands.

So let's first go with your palm up first when you have your palm up.

This is basically just if you can simplify it, this is basically just a square that's kind of rounded

off.

So you can see that this has a little bit of a dip.

So this has a little bit of incline and then there's a dip going along for the other fingers.

So that's sort of like a almost kind of pentagonal shape, although I shouldn't really call it Pentagon.

But anyways, then you have these three muscles here.

You have one on the top.

They have one on the around the pinky and they have one for the thumb.

Now, of course, there's other many other muscles inside the middle that we don't really can't really

see very much.

But these are the main ones that you mostly can see when you have hand poses.

And here we have our our palm side down.

And of course, everybody is a little bit different.

But if you notice, when it comes to the palm, it's the same thing.

We have a little bit of an incline and then we have a decline down here.

And then it's easier for you guys.

You have my ring a bit more.

You have your palm and they have a middle finger there about the same size.

So that will be a good marker of exactly how big your hand should be in relation to the fingers.

So anyways, let's just go ahead and get started on drawing these.

So when it comes to drawing these hands, we, of course, want to start off with a box.

I'm starting with the incline decline.

And the box here, the guys can't see that it's right there.

I can also zoom in if you want.

So here we have our hand, we have our upper muscle up here.

Then we had the pinky up here and basically the hands are basically the same.

They're just reversed.

So if I were to draw the this is my left hand, the right hand would just be the same.

It would just be flipped over.

And then here we have our.

Some muscle.

And that creates the palm.

You want to go the rest on with it as well, go ahead.

So now we can go ahead and measure between the palm and the middle finger, so if the palm is this big,

the middle finger should be around to see.

But up to here.

So it may look long at first, but once you put in the other fingers, then it should be fine for the

thumb.

What I like to do is I like to first, you know, kind of finish this off first.

Then what I'd like to do is I would like to draw on the bone here.

And then the tip of the finger.

So as you can see, just by adding the tip of the finger and this was the joint, it becomes a nice

little thumb.

So now let's go ahead and add in.

Let me zoom out once more.

What's that zooming in on?

So now once we have our measurements in place, we can go ahead and just draw in a finger box, which

is just a guideline of how we want to group in the box and in the fingers.

So notice that the middle finger is more up at the top.

Basically, most of the fingers will always go towards the middle finger and yeah, so let's go ahead

and just draw a brief skeleton of it.

This is where the middle finger will be placed.

Here is where the index finger will be placed, and if you look at your own hand, everybody's hand

is different from me, is a little bit shorter than the middle finger.

Generally, it it generally it is the fourth finger is just a little bit taller than the index finger.

And then we have the pinky.

So once we have that all worked out, we can basically just finish this off as little rectangles first

and then we can round them out.

And notice that we have a little bit of webbing, so if you go to connect the fingers, make sure that

you have a little bit of a curve in the middle.

And generally, fingers taper, so it starts thick and then it goes then.

That is basically your hand.

When it comes to the joint, I will just divide them by three, the top joint is definitely the shortest.

I would say and then the second one is just right in the middle.

So now let's go ahead and draw the palm up for a palm down version, same thing.

We have our box.

And then we have our thumb area.

It sticks out a little bit in this kind of rotating kind of rounds out onto the wrist.

Once again, we have our little joint.

And then we have our finger tip.

Now we can go ahead and I feel like I will have to shorten the homicide up here, so.

Let's adjust that real quick.

Now we're going to measure up to the middle finger, so let's take a pop measurement and I just kind

of lift it up roughly.

It's about up to here.

Let's kind of add to Pinki a little bit more about.

So far, so good.

Once again, we can add in some variation as well, this finger will be more fanning out.

His finger will be more going in towards the middle finger.

And then we can go ahead and simplify these into boxes first.

And as it gets to the base, it gets longer or it gets wider and then also has a little bit of webbing.

And here we have our Pinki, which can be separated just a little bit.

And there is our other hand, so I actually want to just tweak this just a little bit because I feel

like this is a little bit too long of a pun.

So I'm going to do something to erase this.

I just read your to suggest the length of it.

I think that looks better.

I can also shorten the middle finger if needed.

I think that looks a bit better.

Yeah.

Here we have our Riced.

And when we at Knuckles Knuckles are basically around the fingers, the bass.

If you want, you can also add the carpools.

I believe that's what they're called the carpools or the metacarpals, and I can remember they kind

of fan.

So it's another thing if you want to draw nails, just make sure that's not don't do something like

this where this is your finger and then the whole finger is covered.

Don't do that.

You want to make sure that when you draw the finger, it's kind of rounded off.

And then the fingernail just.

Covers just a little bit of the front.

So we can go ahead and add some Beaconhills to this.

I'm going to zoom in.

And of course, there are multiple types of hands out there.

Some people have fatter hands and you have more slimmer hands.

Some people have very bony hands.

But that just depends on how you want your picture to be a fact.

That wouldn't be a bad idea to.

To kind of cover that, so here is your standard hand, very slender and very nice.

This is kind of like your average, I would say that anatomy, because I feel like a lot of people when

the enemy they just like your hands like this.

Now, when it comes to more cartoony kind of hands, perhaps more cartoony kind of hands, like four

guys, they tend to round out their fingers.

So not round out.

They tend to stick it up their fingers and kind of make it boxoffice.

Let's see if I draw a you know.

The Palm.

First, their fingers tend to be very fat and it actually gets very thin at first and then it fance

out into a fat finger.

So that's kind of how they how they would do it.

And they also tend to curve it.

So if you look at, like, American cartoons, like like, I don't know, Johnny Johnny Test or other

or other.

Other shows that have a guy in it, their hands are generally very boxy and that's just to show the

masculinity of it and the harshness of it.

In fact, I think there will be also a little bit shorter, but that's generally the way that they draw

it.

And with girls, it's like, you know, for instance, Disney princesses, although their hands are

also their hands are slimmer and more beautiful because they're more delicate.

So if I were to draw a Disney hand.

Let me go ahead and just kind of tilt it a little bit.

When it comes to Disneyland is very similar to enemy hands, especially for girls.

Go ahead and just zoom in and just do that real quick.

They tend to have very, very soft features and almost kind of like squiggly or like very kind of like.

I don't know if that's a good word.

They taper off to the top and then they kind of have this very delicate, simplified version with no

nails whatsoever.

You don't have to do all this.

I'm just kind of showing you exactly the difference between the two.

They would basically have a very delicate and very feminine looking hand for the Disney princesses.

So that makes a good difference for you guys that I feel like that definitely helps.

So once we have our hands pretty much in check and understanding how the hand works, we can just go

ahead and do some poses.

So you want to pull up your you if you want to pull up your will to call your references, go ahead

and do that and I will get started on that.

All right, so I'm starting with the one on the top left, the one with where the hand is over her lips,

and this will be a relatively simple one.

So let's get started with on the palm box first, understand where it's facing.

In a way, it's a good chance to kind of have you guys draw some boxes in this direction and notice

I'm just simplify everything first.

I'm just making sure that everything's kind of flat and just in in a good direction before I, you know,

kind of make everything more fleshed out.

In fact, let me go ahead and zoom in so you can see what my work process is like.

So here we have one hand.

I want to see where the hand is going.

So first I would I like to do I like to kind of map out the middle of the index finger and just kind

of draw that real quick.

And then for the other fingers, I kind of like to kind of just get the general direction.

And then for the pinkie, I will just also make pretty independent.

So I like to separate the I like to separate the index finger and the pinky finger as kind of like independent

ones, because these two usually the index finger is another index.

The middle finger and the ring finger tend to kind of grouped together.

So let's just go ahead and do that.

So once you have that all done, you can go ahead and just divide the your hand into separate segments

for the joints.

That was the bad joint there, somebody many that there.

And doing basic shapes like this or just basic.

Flat shapes like this helps a lot when it comes to your proportions and understanding how formwork,

so dividing this into just making this flat is makes just a lot easier rather than going to form immediately.

In fact, instead of separating these two, like in the original photo, I'm just going to go ahead

and just put these together just for artistic purposes.

Now we can go ahead and erase most of this, just kind of lightly tap your needed eraser on top.

Hopefully this isn't too long to make because we just want to we just want to get the basic structure

out in the in a digital sense.

I would just load the opacity.

But anyways, let's go ahead and round these out can turn these into a little cylinder's.

And since we have everything mapped out, it becomes a lot easier for us.

We have I'm just going to indicate the thumb here just to show another side.

Here we have some webbed finger going on.

We also have a knuckle here, but that's just kind of I think I'll just add that towards the end.

And then here we have the ring finger.

It's kind of gently, gently indicate the form of the finger by putting in the joints in around a matter.

Here we have the Pinki.

If you want to add a little bit of the inside or the kind of bits of little detail on the other side

of the pond, we can do that.

Here we have the other knuckle and then the last one.

Here's the wrist bone.

In fact, I'm actually going to make the pinky a little bit more out there.

There I feel like that looks better if I want to add some fingernails.

Once again, we can just try we could just add a top to the top to the box.

Make sure it doesn't cover the whole fingertip, it just covers partial.

I can go ahead and erase the little bits here.

So that is our first hand look, it was pretty quick, took about a few minutes.

Now let's go ahead and draw the male hand right next to it on the on the right.

So, once again, this was similar to our previous demo.

This is more fanning out.

Can kind of guess worthy how high the palm is compared to the middle finger, then we can go ahead and

just add in roughly the skeleton of our hand.

Same with our son.

No, so there's like like a nice little bone here that sticks out.

Add that to.

Now we can just add in the details or the basic building blocks, so here we have our hand, our fingers.

Notice that there's webbing on the image.

There's a little bit of the muscle kind of hinting out here, so I'm just going to bump this out and

then curve this back in.

From the finger, I'm just going to do the same thing for the thumb and just fan that out, make it

more like, you know.

So here we have the finger joint.

And then the fingertip.

And what we can do is we can just kind of round these boxes out.

Put in the knuckles.

And a little bit of indentation in the webbing of the hands and then kind of just connect all these

down to the wrist.

And that gives a more masculine looking into your hands.

Same way when we add in our nails.

I would say the more you add in, you know, different more like different nooks and crannies, such

as in different joint sizes, as people get older, their joint sizes kind of grow a little bit.

So I'm just kind of growing these out just a little bit, just kind of like enlarging it.

And then just kind of blocking in our finger for your joints.

And there we have our second hand.

Notice how all the process is very, very similar.

So here I'm going to the next hand, if I'm going to be doing more closed hand like this, the same

process goes is just more constricted.

So we can first kind of understand where our hand is in space.

Is it kind of tilting back?

If it's tilting back, then draw a box that is tilting back.

And we harvest.

Here we have our top.

Muscle.

Of the hand we can block in our thumb.

Here's a thumb, here's the thumb muscle.

Here is the knuckle, that kind of.

Protrudes out.

So once we have that, we can go ahead and just draw the rest of the fingers.

The fingers can be easily blocked out, so one, two, that is our.

That is, our index finger can be made flat.

Here.

And then one film, too, if you want, you can even.

You can even divide these into flat little plains if that makes it easier for you.

This one kind of drags out as well.

And one more.

So as you can see, I made it closed hand just by overlapping planes together, and I'm going to once

again, you raised us very, very faintly for this hand, especially because it's very complicated.

And once again, I'm just going to base off of my original drawing and I'm just going to refine it.

So we have the fingernail.

At the joint.

And here we have a nice wrinkle, which, if you add it, shows it shows that you know what you're doing.

This one is more like a like a cylinder here, so if we want to indicate that this is cylinder, we

can go ahead and just add a little bit of roundness to that.

And and the nail will also show a little bit of the perspective as well.

So if you see the nail kind of facing more up.

Then that means it's kind of like going this way, if you see the nail this way, you know, we see

the top, it's going down.

And here we have the base of the finger protruding out.

And they up and the top muscle.

Here we have the bottom, the base of the finger here.

Then we can go ahead and draw in the cylinder.

Um, um.

Nail right there.

Same thing on the other side, this is the base of the finger kind of connecting to our middle finger

here.

Well.

Well, cylinder, oh.

Now.

Then the same thing.

Cylinder facing down fingernail.

And then we have our hand gracefully flowing down.

If you want to add some value to this, go ahead and do that, add some cash chateaux if you want,

that helps with showing your form.

So we have one down here, one down below the the ring finger, one below the middle finger, and they

can also add some cash chateaux.

Over the head as well here.

Can also add some nice muscle lines here as well and some nice wrinkles as it kind of like constricts.

You can see some wrinkles in the hand.

So that is our third hand, not too bad.

It was a little bit challenging, but I think you guys can do it.

And then let's do let's do another one, something more.

I'm not going to do all all the same poses.

I'm just going to be doing some let's do the more complicated one with the.

With the hand kind of going like this, so I think it's I think it's the bottom.

It's the second second row, I think you know what I'm talking about, and it was once you see it,

you'll know.

So once again, we're going to start off the same way we can see that the hand looks like it's going

this way.

So once again, fanning, fanning, straight, straight.

This is the wrist.

Pretty easy, isn't it, then we can group these so we have our pinky muscle that our than our thumb

muscle and then we can once again just group our fingers together like so.

And then we have our index finger going out and then our thumb hiding behind.

So when there's a little bit of a story, but when will Western taught us how to?

He does online classes nowadays anyways, he.

He would always say flat and then go to form, because that's actually a lot easier to digest in terms

of information.

So, you know, before I used to teach like, oh, we'll just drop cylinders and also.

Yeah, you could do that.

It's not wrong to do that.

I just find this way a lot easier now, and I want you guys to know about it.

So once we have the ones, we have the fingers we can just block in where they are.

That's really simple, isn't it?

So now we can just go ahead and erase most of this, just just not get confused with the darker lines,

I'm going to add in later.

We can just refine it.

So here we have our thumb muscle and then our pinky muscle and they kind of constrict.

So we can add some folds to that.

But you don't have to.

You can add also some nice little detailed lines that show the form as well.

Here's the knuckle of the pinky.

And here is the pic itself.

Here is the fourth.

The ring finger.

Curling downward, here is the knuckle.

Here are the joints, here is the.

Middle finger.

They're the nails.

Here is this.

And then for the index finger, here's the knuckle and then it gradually just spews out right there

gradually, just kind of just points out.

So you guys can also draw a I can't handle kind of going backwards as well, so that is your hand here.

So I think they'll be it for drawing hands.

Let me know what you guys think.

Show me if this is actually a lot easier for you guys to digest.

And yeah, anyways, that will be it for this video.

I will actually do fit in a different video on a different section rather than just hands and feet in

the same video.

And I'll see you guys in next by.
