How to Draw HANDS + SHADING

[@funybug]

My great grandmother just passed away yesterday, and I was commissioned to draw her holding my aunt’s hand. I’ve drawn hands, but never an elderly person’s hand, so I needed this to figure out what techniques to use for the details, and this has been extremely helpful. Thank you so much

Darlene, thank you for making these videos and sharing them on KZbin. A lot of people can draw and are great artists but very few can teach others how to draw. You are definitely one of those who can teach others how to draw and you do it very well.

[@bajiron]

Amazing artist and amazing teacher. On youtube there are many artists who just show you their drawing technique but you my Dear are a teacher. I am a retired educator having taught at the university level too. Thank you for the work you but into your videos and your sharing spirit to really teach.

[@GusNotSus]

I'm nine years old and woah I can't believe I drew this beautiful hand from scratch. I love your vids, my teacher showed us a video and everyone is surprised they could now draw a face :3

I'm not saying that's good ._. just better than my idiotic misshaped hand I used to draw.

i didnt know how to draw hands and i looked for some tutorials and none of them actually did it step by step. then i found yours and it helped me a lot. thank you so much for posting all of these amazing art tutorials. this doesnt just help me it helps a lot of people who want to draw and don't know how. i really appreciate it. keep up the good work😊.

[@soupbonep]

Another fantastic tutorial Darlene. Thank you so much! What I love about your videos is that you don't waste any time with excess talking. Your videos are to the point, detailed, instructive. I love the way you break down a seemingly overwhelming photo. I am trying to draw mushrooms and I want the ridges on the underside of the caps to have depth and I'm sure that this video is just what I need to get the contours and angles look good.

[@artbytessiejo7218]

I've spent almost five hours looking up and sampling videos on the subject of wrinkles and skin this morning from all kinds of well known artists on here. Finally, this video caught my eye and has answered all of my questions and gave me the examples I need. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
