Hand Articulation Drawing Tutorial

Hand articulation drawing tutorial, to appreciate and teach.

We are featuring Artist Rim Umyarov once more and the amazing depictions keep coming.

Hands are one of the human features most artists struggle with.  Proportions and likeness are important aspects that can be learnt through repetition and dedication.

On this page, you have an assortment of sketches:  Some in block forms and then realistic drawings.  Hands shown in many different poses for you to get a feeling of the perspective, depth of field and articulation.  

If you are not an artist and appreciate looking at art, an eye feast is awaiting.  Each illustration has so many components and directions to follow.

Whatever your artistic background is, I hope you get a lot out of this post.

Ps. I gave the images some titles.
