How to Draw Hands from Any Angle

[@tylercrawford5951]

Best tutorial I've ever seen, you explain what you're doing, and you do step by step. Instead of some people who just draw and expect the viewer to know what's going on. So subscribed!

[@cjstudio1000]

Wow this video was quite HANDY

[@ArtofWeiHo]

cjstudio1000 Thanks.

[@marshallahmat8244]

No pun intended.

[@RR-wz1cl]

cjstudio1000 EHEHEHEHEHEHEHe

[@felicityessel]

+cjstudio1000 I've got to HAND it to you, that was a good one.

[@vincestaplegun2042]

I used to be geat at drawing but then stopped to focus on my studies. as a returning artist your vids are amazing for both beginners and experienced artists you've inspired me to draw again and then taught me how, keep up the good work bro

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Alpha Cube Great, I'm glad it helps you. Actually I'm a returning artist as well as most of my career has been with 3D computer graphics.

[@DanielPereira-yy3tn]

Art of Wei Wow, as someone currently going for the 3d biz, what made you change your careers?

[@InkedCat]

Art of Wei I would also like to know what made you change careers as well, unless there is a private reason behind it or just don't want to say it.

[@hollycaird2591]

Thanks so much Wei! You're guidance is helping me through some creative fumbles. Much appreciated!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks you Holly.

[@حزنالورد-د1ه]

I am from an Arab country and I follow you and I became able to try to draw after my sense of failure now I am thanks to your clear education of easy steps and detail I can despite not understanding the language well

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Awesome

[@carmelocrespo7930]

Very good illustration. I'm a returning artist who had not done any drawings or paintings over the last 25 years or so and to say I'm rusty is an understatement. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Carmelo Crespo That's great Carmelo, I'm glad you've decided to pick it up again. Good luck.

[@maikamikaela3144]

this was very handy...

[@asyaaltundag1126]

I see what you did there ;)

[@maikamikaela3144]

+Yuki Yuki most people can't hand-le my punns ;)

[@kerissalaptiste4933]

@everybody: lol

[@onxyreaper1547]

I bet u hand-crafted those puns

[@flare4421]

Yall making me meet death by laughing 😂😂

[@eduardoFreites]

Man, you're the best! really, I don't speak english but I know a bit so I don't understand all the video but one picture talk more that one thousand of words... thanks!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

eduardo freites That's great eduardo.

[@kacy6014]

Best tutorial ever. I drew my own hand from the side, and using the techniques you taught, I got a decent looking result in the end. It's not Picasso status, but it's good enough for what I want to do :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Kacy Espinoza =). Thanks Kacy. Yeah, it's amazing how well it works considering how simple the guidelines are.

[@scottridgway1697]

Thank you .I AM just beginning to draw again, after taking time off to work with the military and other groups, which took me far away from just enjoying art. I have found great er peace in art than I have in years.... takes the memories away for a bit. I am sure my heads will look much better after the video on that topic. KEEP UP the great work.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Scott Ridgway Thanks Scott. Art is wonderful because it's all about self exploration. You're always looking inwards to reach for that expression. It's a wonderful thing. Thank you for your service. I can only imagine what you and other service men has to go through. Makes me feel like a free-loader when I think of it.

[@taranthyll]

Hands and feet are my bane. Thanks very much for this very helpful tutorial!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thank you Sean.

[@SmolBold]

~Things they dont teach you in art class~ Great video! Very insightful

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Nucu Yeah, I get that a lot in the comments. It depends on where you go to school I guess. Most regular art classes are too general, you know, like drawing still lifes=). Nothing wrong with that but these kinds of lessons you can more easily find in specialized courses or workshops.

[@karonevega9646]

Legit the teacher made us watch this during zoom XD

[@PFCGoostaf]

This blew my mind brain. I sketch for fun, I gave up the ghost years ago bc it wasn't "cool" but this guy does better hands than I EVER imagined, on a computer no less. Mind...blown.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Dustin Gosser Thanks.

[@flamingdildo4791]

17:28 Now I can think of my fingers as Kinder Bueno bars

[@drpsyche2003]

Youre doing it again, Master Wei! I've been hiding hands for far to long and just decided to try to learn, and here you are with another AWESOME tutorial. Thanks so much for all of your help, bro. Again, right on time.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thank you Anthony. We're all guilty of hiding the hands at one point or another=).

[@morgangoble3717]

your doing the art world a favor!! thank you, and many more fabulous works of art your way.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Morgan Goble Thank you Morgan.

[@micrart2213]

Man, this is THE best explanation, tutorial, on hands... thanks!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Milan Crveni =). Thanks.

[@dondavis351]

Ive watched several of your videos now and have learned quite a bit for my very limited skill set. Thanks for laying it out simple with out trying to turn it into a math program like some other instructors.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Great, I'm glad it's helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@physical_insanity]

Finally, somewhere where I can learn how to draw hands. This should help me man.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

AFK man ?

[@physical_insanity]

Art of Wei Oh sorry. I just realised what I wrote. Just let me fix it quickly.

[@physical_insanity]

AFK man There we go, done. What do you think?

[@Kfreeks]

Thanks for this video, watching it really makes me want to start practicing on drawing hands, which I'm going to begin just now. :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Kfreeks Great. Good luck.

[@hsingh9877]

he just flipped us off

[@CatOwens]

thank you very much Wei for your tutorial, this helps very much and & quite easy to understand, will keep practicing :D

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Cat Owens Thank you Cat.

[@foxzillax5745]

Just knowing a few rules about how joints and finger lengths are spaced helps a lot.

[@georgeghirlando8382]

Right now I am doing hand studies in my sketch book and this will help me refine the proportions. Thanks!

[@LeaGalTan]

Hands are such a challenge, but after watching your video, I am anxious to get out my sketch book. Thanks!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks Debbie

[@MikomiHokina]

This is actually super amazing. I'll give a look to your wondeful gallery of videos. Got a new subscriber, keep the awesome work !

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks Hokinette. Hope you find them useful.

[@ultimategamer8139]

This was extremely helpful, but unfortunately, it isn't clear how to use this method when hands are in odd positions such as when the palm curves like when you touch your pinky to your thumb, or when your thumb is in a different position such when you show the number 4 with your fingers. Clutching a ball or holding a pencil are also difficult with this method. It's there a way you can make a tutorial about drawing hands in different common positions?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Robert Davis Yeah, the hand is very complex. What I like to do is to just draw your own hand. You have the perfect reference there=).

[@edwarchangwai8459]

Very well explained! I just started digital art and this tutorial helped me a lot with hand construction aspect. Thank you

[@albertoitu4978]

this was the best tutorial ever

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Alberto Díaz Thanks Alberto.

[@Kityileung]

After watching many tutorials about drawing hands, I thought I had a basic idea of the structure of hands, until I watched this one.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thank you jieyi.

[@allanrocha4647]

Thank you again Wei, such a good tutorial!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thank you allan, I'm gad you like it.

[@Irakli008]

Great video, Wei! You're a really talented artist and teacher. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

[@hypermaxis1785]

Thanks for this one. Hands have been my biggest obstacle

[@ArtofWeiHo]

[@paulbaello7614]

[@ArtofWeiHo]

James Paul Thank you James.

[@ChickpeaBlues]

Thanks! Love your videos.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Countess K8 Thank you

[@nieselregen420]

You always think hands are easy to draw: Until you draw them. Nice video, it helped me to get the size of all the structures perfectly. But they still don't look like I want them, looks like I need a lot of practice :D Anyway thanks.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+xeesn Thanks xeesn. Have fun drawing.

[@SandipanChakraborty2327]

superb.. learnt a lot about knucklw positions. Just one observation.. @ 14:14 when you started drawing the little finger, from the angle probably the back of the finger should appear from right side or in other words, the finger should point inwards rather than outwards may be...

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Sandipan Chakraborty Yeah, you're right, they should point inwards a bit, as all the fingers have that slight tilt.

[@xJOHNYAPPLES]

Thanks for showing the many angles :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

You're very welcome James. Thanks for watching.

[@ndpc9410]

Thank you. Very helpful. Look forward to your lesson on drawing feet.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+ND PC I'll look into that. Thanks.

[@Gerrit822]

Change your name to "the Wei for art"

[@thedaenerystargaryen]

+Reptilian Brotherhood clever

[@patrickagee8905]

i like the name

[@Fuzorz]

this was really cool!! I actually did better on the second hand example on the first example. the thumb size was the hardest part. this is great

[@ArtofWeiHo]

December Soul Yeah, the thumb tends to mess up the hands for a lot of artist.

[@RacoonEvil]

Incredible video, thanks

[@Jkhhkhjygjgi]

This is very useful. I'm trying to find how to draw a hand in many ways, and here's my answer :3 (I'm finding this type of topic in ages)

[@GeorgeIrich]

I am not bad ad drawing generally, but I kinda sucked at few times I tried drawing hands. So I followed this tutorial and was drawing in parallel to watching and it went very good. Almost perfect just in the first try. This is amazing tutorial and you are great teacher by explaining the baseic geometry and steps. Thanks very much!

[@jeffjohnson8838]

[@jeffjohnson8838]

Looks real easy when you do it.

If you're having issues, it might be because of your perspective? You can break anything down to basic geometric forms, then it'll be easier to manage.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

=)

[@papayafrost]

hey this was great thanks so much! do you have any tips on how to draw a clenched fist? and also the hand from the side but with the pinky finger being closest?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

papayafrost I might do that later on. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@papayafrost]

it'd be super helpful if you could also do a video on how to draw palm facing up (pinky finger closest to the viewer)

[@autoReplayz]
