Mastering Hands Part 1: A Beginner's Guide to Drawing Hands

Hands are complex only until you see their geometry. This class breaks the hand into basic shapes—simple volumes that connect predictably. Once you understand the underlying structure, drawing from different angles becomes logical rather than intimidating.

The course covers the rhythm of the hand (the anatomical patterns all hands follow) and how the hand moves—how joints bend, how fingers overlap. You'll practice drawing from various angles, moving from construction to finished line work. The emphasis is on making this relaxing rather than stressful; with knowledge and practice, hands become one of the most expressive parts of a figure.
