How to Draw Hands from IMAGINATION - Step-by-Step

[@ProkoTV]

I'm making a lesson on Drawing CARTOON Hands. What cartoon styles do you guys want to draw?

[@stunseedbackwards1947]

Proko ahm Disney style

[@Martin16707]

Proko marvel style

[@crucicrix5011]

Proko Manga would be pretty awesome! (berserk has a great style, for reference)

[@Germania9]

Ditto for Proko manga style. I'm sure his Watts training could outpace Mark Crilley's skill.

[@mizo2452]

super hero style with leather Gloves ^^

[@Evarace]

Isn't it ironic that our hands can draw many faces, bodies, objects, and such, but always have hard time to draw themselves?

[@killerx1232]

yep

[@kevinnguyen552]

I don’t have a hard time.

[@notsolegalciv2761]

@@kevinnguyen552 good for you

[@kevinnguyen552]

Maybe I just think I am good but I am not because I don’t see bad shading or other things.

[@nosirve9458]

​@@kevinnguyen552 Yup, generally artists who think they are good are not ^^

[@maggieinsc1967]

Great content. Thanks for sharing. Sent to all my art friends.

[@amandeepkhatri2043]

Can you please tell us about shading and volume

[@_rieeeck_]

if free videos contain this much information how much in premium would be????

[@KneeCaps]

I suck at hands. I mean I can draw hands, but I'm bad at making them proportionate to the body, I think. Or maybe my mind hates whatever I draw I dunno.

[@Thatsmahnut]

Bruh a kneecaps comment made 3 years ago with no likes or comments. Feels like ive found something i shouldnt have

[@zimitraa]

@@Thatsmahnut lmao

[@downsidecroxxesss]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS KNEECAPS

[@xx_thelordandsaviour69_xx81]

Wow, it's kneecaps. How about that

[@adammasterx5854]

Damn it’s kneecaps

[@McDudes]

Step 1: Imagine a hand Step 2: Draw it

[@dramawind]

You forgot step "???"

[@spairousssable]

Lovely TLDR

[@emil.2019]

*hands*... Arch nemesis of an artist..

[@jimmyjonjones9062]

They're Hell.

[@bobkingofseagulls9884]

I hate how learning art works cause I spend like 2 years with almost on improvement drawing hands and then I watch a couple 10 minute youtube videos and I'm instantly 1000% better than before like wHAT. Thank you Proko for my life

[@thomaseulogy7206]

It works like everything else. If you have a good teacher and motivation instaboost, if you have just motivation is snail trailing.

[@cardcaptorkiwi2019]

It best to apply a skill after learning it. It sounds like you may have been learning with the basic foundations. Thank goddess Proko is here. Proko= All Might

[@devinthomas4468]

could you do a sketchbook tour?

[@akarshitachandra3971]

"Drawing quickly and loosely is a skill developed by drawing slowly and carefully." Thank You

[@milkbread5036]

You're so funny.I bursted out laughing at the expressions and punch xD Thank you Stan!! :D

[@karo753]

*This is just amazing. Thank you for upload this video! I really need it*

[@howtodrawcomicsnet]

You explained the construction process perfectly. One of your best tutorials by far Stan. Keep up the awesome work. -Clayton

[@niceone7199]

Great vid! At the very beginning of the clip, you show a 3D hand in different angles and poses. Is that a reference software you use or did you build that yourselves? If not, what is that software called?

[@luxurious0346]

How's your anatomy Anybody: doing great Why is she wearing boxing gloves though Anybody: shhhhhh

[@Cakemagic1]

This is so hard. :(

[@MrNerdyBrit]

Don't stress. This is just 1 way you can learn to draw hands. there's a lot of others you may find so much easier. Just make mental notes of things that are useful to the way you learn, then look at other methods.

[@antitreehugger]

I love this guy! such a good communicator and good video quality. I recommend this channel to all my drawing students.

[@spotoboy]

Thank you Stan! All the hand videos have been very helpful and inspirational.

[@difuntoylarosa4073]

What the hand !!! :v sorry..

[@demol-ishplayz957]

Great! Now a can draw awful characters with nice hands!

[@edxx8736]

I still can’t draw hands bEcuase he explain and show how to draw hands in this way at 2:42 but then he show other WAYSS ARGH :(

[@HowlingMoonCinemas]

Wow! You can draw some really dynamic hands and make it look so easy!

[@Alias-k7i]

10:34 many 3d. such shading. very wow

[@taygra.suza19]

Muito obrigado suas dicas me ajudaram a melhorar o desenho de mão.

[@ihanckoevin8903]

Holy shit proko, ur videos are so good and funny, it’s clearly visible that you love what you do and you put a lot of passion in it I’ll save money to take one of ur courses

[@saviolaazzakki89]

9:34 👏👏👏what a quote, well that helps me

[@andrewbird8624]

Handbutts™. :D gets me every time.

Nobody: Proko: the Th0mb.

[@nathantse1]

Do you have any tips if I want to make a hands to like reach out from the paper?

[@palash6261]

You are laughing like your wife is recording the video😁😂💕

[@jbaumun]

Excellent ! Perfectly taught - just what I've always looked for in art instruction - wish I could study from you personally . You reference Bridgeman !! OMG ! Rockwell ?? Love it .

[@Feynman-x8b]

may I ask why your brush can turn its direction when you move your digital pen, sir? thank you so much if you can solve my puzzle

[@ameerahabdallah2416]

Can you do a video on how to draw the body from imagination?

[@leigh3082]

can you recommend something for me?I've been trying for couple of years now but i see no improvement on my drawings

[@avrenimmasa]

You are such a weirdo at the end-almost- you:throws paper me:AGH

[@fortunekidvonhong]

I want to register on your website to learn your premium course. But I can't find how to register. Should I purchase your premium course before I register (i.e.., before I receive my password)?

[@seanramsey]

The login is only for people who have premium, so you'd need to get the premium course to login.

[@whatyousee3225]

to draw from imagination "not only hands but the whole body or just a part of it" you need to study from life as much as you can, for me i can't go into a workshop for figure drawing because they cost a lot, and drawing from reference image is good but not enough, this is really tricky situation don't you think guys?

[@CZMajky]

Drawing from life if overrated meme, knowledge of perspective, form, construction, gesture and anatomy is what you need to be able to draw from imagination and that can be learned from books/videos and practiced just fine with photos.

[@seanramsey]

There are often meetup groups that do model life drawing. If there's a community college near you that's also usually an option. You don't need to do workshops to draw from life,. Plein air drawing and public sketching can work too.

[@mooistliefste]

There's a really good KZbin channel called Croquis Cafe, which is basicly a life drawing class, except it's a video. If real life drawing classes are really hard to do (too expensive, there simply being no classes at where one lives, etc), watching videos is a great alternative! 👍

[@Patrix8558]

Sean Ramsey - well, a tricky situation is if you are from a village and nothing like that is anywhere near you. Then only thing that remains are books, videos, photos and maybe a mirror. :)

[@seanramsey]

Yeah, I can see how a rural artist would have a hard time with that. The internet is our only hope!

[@rbrandon347]

Thanks so much!! I've been waiting for this video to come out.

[@zombie752]

How many times you copy the hand reference/drawing Me : yes

[@Billybob-jd3pg]

9:34 I don't wanna wait BUT I KNOW I HAVE TOO

[@ecru_5819]

Gestural fingers feel niiiiiiiice Going digit by digit does confuse me a bit

[@Okay-tc8us]

hey just want to say that.. i've been frustrated with drawing ever since I knew that i was drawing inaccurate proportion all the time. it didn't matter to me because of how satisfied i am with my incorrect work simply because they looked good. i came across your channel and ever since then, i've been trying to draw more accurately and correctly but im frustrated because i can't do it right. drawing used to be my past time but now.. thinking that I've been sketching wrong the whole time, makes me really sad that im not gonna do like you do or what other artist do. i fear mistakes, i fear blank papers and I fear that i'll never be skilled enough to draw accurately. do i have a chance to understand ?

[@roddraws4665]

Yes you do

[@Okay-tc8us]

@@roddraws4665 thank you. I guess I only got myself to blame for being frustrated. I'm almost in the verge of giving up. Thank you for believing in me.

[@dopekartistaddictionofart7837]

Can anyone tell me what software Proko might be using to draw digitally... ? he uses it so pencilly... i cant find such software.. i just got my wacom one graphic tablet and having trouble

[@Clara-jz3yv]

Thanks for this Proko! I think it helped me. Also, I think maybe you also look a bit a like with Tom, from "Toms chokolade" tomsgroup.com/ Haha, or am I wrong? :'D

[@palash6261]

Proko please make quick silver form Avengers Infinity. I am trying to make but can't please help me 😭😭😢

5:52 Gene Simmons is gonna sue your ass.

[@kirbie2640]

I love your explanations! The steps are very easy for me to follow.

[@supernasirs1467]

I'm trying to start with the pelvis but I just can't get it. I'm trying to imagine a cup and which way the liquid would spill. but I can't seem to get it T.T

[@AMALsjalwn]

This is useful. But it's impossible to get it correct in just explanation. Practical showing must be done......

[@GustavoMSilva]

Very good channel!! I knew it yesterday and already improved a lot my drawings!! I'm loving it!! Thanks, Proko!!

[@gunfighter5547]

proko please do a review on posetool 3d app created by Alienware I already emailed you about putting muscle on skelly app but I guess you can see for yourself in the app mentioned ... thank you

[@lestermarshall8275]

... did you do the shading of the hand with pencil on paper or did you use the tools of an editor ...? Cheers

[@lydialin2023]

Can you make a lesson on drawing hands without shading since all animation school requires hand drawing with lines?

[@raphfelix6305]

LOL, premium Proko people, popping up made me laugh. random. sporting a crown and scepter. genius funny. love your channel.

[@sanghoangvlog2738]

Great video . i like that . Nice to meet you

[@loctran3946]

and then there are people who just copy the hand pose reference and never try to create new ones by themselves

[@souleater9408]

why does proko kinda look like the devil did i pay with my soul for those awsome lessons?

[@ricardcauntion5450]

how about hands 2D like anime or Manga maybe?

[@sushi-zt4qf]

Queria sub en español:(

[@Vadosity]

Proko, can you share the brushes you use in you digital drawing videos?

[@MiruyaChan]

That hand in the thumbnail is pretty wonky.

[@markengamer5649]

It took me less than an hour to turn my drawings of terrible hands, to drawings leagues better than previously. WHAT WITCHCRAFT

[@ProkoTV]

+Marken Gamer that’s awesome! It would benefit the community if you post this improvement! We have Facebook groups for all the courses. So go to Proko.com/groups and click on the anatomy group. Show us your before and after :) Tell us what you did to improve. It really would help other students. And I’m genuinely interested to see it.

[@Dark_sexy_artist]

О боже, до мене тільки що дійшло, що ти з України, у тебе настільки чиста вимова, що й не здогадаєшся. Але, дивлячись на обличчя, я зразу подумала, что ти міг би бути словьянином, на прізвище навіть не звернула увагу і тальки зараз вирішила чекнути. Це просто дивовижно, ти дуже гарний художник та викладач, дякую тобі за речі, що ти робиш!

[@mizo2452]

thx and good luck with anatomy course to be fully completed

[@ShiroUsagiArt]

Someday i'll draw like u Proko! I swear I'll ! 😭😭😭

[@cigarella436]

*flexes pinky* Damn, he is right, there is a crease...

[@cofiking23]

Proko with all your skills you must have considered making character design or concept art cause you can easily go in that direction also . I guess those things don't interest you as much as painting and the stuff you are doing now , which is great and extremely valuable to us all. Thank you

What Wacom tablet do you use?

[@clayblob2]

That Dio hand in the thumbnail

[@flutelover8637]

I've noticed that in Jessica rabbit drawings, her spine anatomy is quite curvy compared to how you modeled it in a previous video. Do you think that this is not possible for human anatomy to make that shape? And if you want, draw an anatomically correct version if it isn't already. Thanks

[@sumitkumawat8996]

flute lover These are just few of the processes. There is no standard anatomy. No. of vertebrates and there bone composition probably. The arrangment and alignment varies everywhere.
