How to Draw Hands // My Tips & Tricks!

[@mlpdarkness7732]

Well... when I draw a character or something, I always be like "Oh... here comes the hand part." then I put my pencil down and go away.

[@rashisharma1097]

Hey same here😅

[@darkwolf_gacha4003]

Relateble 😅

[@rjjain2891]

True sams fir me

[@Yuriene_]

I just continue to draw

[@418pm8]

Bro, I always feel like that

[@Linbuxian]

I was just thinking ‘people without hands must have a hard time drawing hands since they don’t have hand references.’ but then I realized ‘wait well there’s a bigger issue here...’ xD

[@mrs.catisdisgustedbyyou1300]

I found 2 but here’s 1 1. How tf do you draw without hands ‘-‘

[@bhwuuq5343]

@@mrs.catisdisgustedbyyou1300 some people can draw with their feet. Some people get trained to draw to with their feet. If that makes sense lmao.

[@10Bendog]

Thanks for POINTING these tips to me. It really comes in HANDY to have some of these tricks up your SLEEVE whenever your HAND gets restless and you just want to draw.

[@splatzone9168]

10Bendog god these puns are OUT OF HAND

[@JelArts]

I APPLAUD you for being so clever :)

[@blazershot740]

Punny..

[@kristenlowell4223]

+10Bendog You cannot HANDLE these puns. Although I must HAND it to you that was pretty funny.

[@artsysundae]

These puns are *tries to think of a good pun* Um..hand.

[@shortstorytimes.6415]

I know this is a five year old video but thank you for posting this so many years ago! I almost broke down crying while trying to draw a hand for my art class assignment and this helped so much.

[@ghostly.candle]

Ikr these are so helpful! Also I do the same all the time, I'm like: "oh wow...such a great video thanks for the tips!" The video being published in 2013 😭😭

[@GravynsGrave]

You just saved all of my drawings. I know I am late, but still, you have saved my drawings. Thank you so much!

[@JelArts]

Hey everyone! I'm doing a Q&A soon so if you have any questions for me, please ask! (note: I finished the Q&A)

[@alwayshavecourage39]

JelArts when did you start drawing

[@PinkSinsila]

Do you think that the fanart artists are bad?

[@utopian_courier_press]

Did you change your icon? Lol, no seriously When did you decide that you to make money off your art?

[@hampeace69420]

Any tips on drawing original art?

[@JelArts]

Arro's Art Yeah I changed my icon. I stuck with the bird theme though!

[@akila2202]

This tutorial was very handy

[@someone9137]

Akila Nice pun.

[@Lunchbox15]

3 years ago but it still helped me thanks dude

[@strawberrymira9719]

Your really amazing jelarts! Thankyou so much❤

[@aliko_20]

#earlysquad! This is me when I draw then watch an art vid: Me: *draws a person Me: I'm done! *watches KZbin artists Me: *looks back at my drawing Me: yeeeeeahh. I think I need more paper....

[@Mewmewio]

your not early early means before the video was uploaded so it will be immpossibale but good try

[@valeriecastro6053]

same

[@areman448]

As an beginner artist this is my weaknesses at all

[@thiccada]

Drawing regular hands from a flat angle is hard enough, foreshortening them is a whole different nightmare :)

[@ginasartcorner5686]

YOu know what I like most about this videos?? YOu are so natural like ereasing things and correcting them. Showing how you do it and still beeing just you. Can´t really explain it better. But I think its great.

[@JelArts]

That's one of the nicest things someone has ever commented. Seriously, thank you! I am so glad you like the format of my videos :) I like to show that it isn't always perfect (ESPECIALLY with hands, haha). Thanks again, it really means a lot!

[@ginasartcorner5686]

You´re very welcome :) Yeah I think its great when someone shows the struggle too. Art isn´t always easy as some believe. Its a lot of practice and work. Really love the videos that you do and you explain very well :)

[@annwynbeneaththewaves]

Ikr i hate when ppl crop the mistakes out of their video, not only are imperfections better, but most people feel bad when they notice someone does everything perfectly and they know they cant

[@ginasartcorner5686]

Yeah axactly that! Some people like young starting artist feel like they can´t do a thing and the great KZbin artist can do it without mistakes and such. But that is mostly not the thruth. Thats why I like JelArts videos so much. She is a great artist but still so humble and natural in her videos. She is really a great influence to stay as natural as she is in her videos in my videos too.

[@ashpbrrrr]

Can you so face proportions next? I used to be soo good but now I feel like I'm lagging ;-;

[@sarris8691]

Lagging? Please go to a library and read some books, it will make your grammar more advanced

[@jimmyjonjones9062]

Alex Azzy Szymula What do you mean?

[@sarris8691]

Nothing his/her grammar/language is not advanced/she doesnt use the words s/he should.

[@artsysundae]

Alex Azzy Szymula You’re not wrong but you could have approached them in a different way. You might’ve not realized but it’s a bit rude. Also don’t be a hypocrite. Instead of making that weird, confusing sentence, you could’ve said this: “Their English is not advanced. They aren’t using the words that they should.” Or something like that.

[@DesignzRUs1]

@Alex Azzy Szymula Fuck off

[@ShinobiNeon]

THUMBS UP for this good hand tutorial. It's definitely better than all the WRIST. The next time I need help drawing hands, this is the video I'll FINGER. I'll certainly add this one to my INDEX of resources.

[@isaachirsch4315]

In my opinion hands and feet are the trickiest things to draw

[@sydneythederp109]

Tysm the first one helped a lot!

[@sphagetti7717]

I'm thinking about posting my artwork online, but I'm very anxious about it. Do you have any advice? (Sorry if my English is bad, also you're relly inspiring me)

[@milenabuchanan8375]

your english is great! you're badass for learning another language. sara tepes made a video a week ago on overcoming the fear of posting art online so maybe that could help you?

[@sphagetti7717]

Oh, thank you! I'm not relly keeping up with much of art related channels... I'll check it out right away.

[@JelArts]

Just remember that there are a lot of other artists who are just as nervous as you to post! The more you do it, the easier it will get. I still get nervous about posting drawings sometimes because I've over analysed it and talked myself out of liking the drawing, and I'm worried what people will say about it. Just go for it, and know that it will be worth it! Think of all the reasons why you want to post your art, and why it's something you want to do. You will make new art friends and get feedback too. And also remember that constructive criticism will come, but it's actually one of the most helpful things to improve and feel even more confident. Showing your creations to others can be so difficult, but just think of all the upsides! Ease yourself into it too, if it's too nerve wracking to start. Post little sketches first, then get into the larger drawings you care more about later on. I hope this helps :)

[@alexibear2599]

Hey take this from me, I’m sure it’s already been said before but.. EVERY artist thinks their own stuff SUCKS and others like their work. Just a reality to be jealous of other work. Use that jealously to work on improving your own style that’s not others. If you keep drawing/making stuff you will develop your own style and improve. You could take a class to help but it al depends on yourself in the end. Always support others in art, makes people want to improve more.

[@Micsma]

Very well presented! I'm currently working on just drawing a singular straight line, but later tutorials confirm that the hand is shapes and when drawing, it is best to break it down into shapes. You have either discovered or were taught this, as you point out at the end that the hand is shapes! And in your gestural work, I think I see slyou defining the major shapes first!

[@leighmarie3186]

this was sooo helpful!! thank you!

this is great it is very detailed like it😊

One thing that helps with thumbs is not to think of them as a small, two joint finger. They have 3 joints and are bigger than even your middle finger, there's a joint for your thumb right down at your wrist that is easy to forget about.

[@ScarfacePredator]

do you prefer doing digital art, pastels,prismacolors,or copics?

[@cynthiapitman4580]

This is really helpful! Before this tutorial, I'd only had one good drawing with two good hands, but they were two left hands on one person. 😂

This video was 2 years ago, but it's really helpful till this day.

[@aliko_20]

JelArts how long have you been drawing? I'm asking that for both paper art (I don't know what to call drawing on paper ) and digital art. And I just want to know, do you use photoshop for digital drawing? If so, can you post a video on how to use it? Thanks! Luv ur vids

[@JelArts]

I've been drawing seriously since I started my channel, so over four years. I've always been interested in art for my entire life, though. I actually use paint tool SAI. It's great and lightweight and pretty cheap too. I have a few tutorials about SAI on my channel in this playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2Sbe557mqZ3oJI (they are near the bottom of the playlist) Thank you so much!

[@annahopper6411]

it's called traditional ar

I hope you make a tutorial how you draw a face and eyes , I'm having lots of trouble with that , I mostly just draw a person with no eyes , no hands *it looks creepy AF* cause I most likely understand when you do the tutorial , Thanks!

Well that was a HAND-ful of tips :D

[@sytheracernorth7027]

Ty for lending me insperation

[@toxify007]

One thing I want to say is to not think too analytically and draw perfect hands. Keep looking at reference and keep drawing you'll definitely improve :3

[@hew2936]

the pinky finger somehow always ruins my hands. it just doesnt fit. its weird. seriously.

[@anatome469]

I can draw like good looking hands but I am always worried about the proportions. I feel like the parts of the fingers need to be longer but I don t really know if the proportions are right at all. Do u think that the proportions really matters while drawing hands on like a side or a front angle??

[@amitori]

Who kept staring at their hand while watching this lol XD

[@amitori]

Also whenever you said something was too long, it looked like my hand TvT) my fingers are too long lol

I swear, I couldn't draw hands for 3 years, I admit it, but this video solved all of my problems with drawing hands, I have got a good arts lesson book and a good teacher in school (I was practicing as much as I could), but this video changed everything seriously.
