How to draw anime hands🙌with free material for hand practice.

Hello everyone this is Otegama I often get comments saying "I can't draw hands " To be able to draw hands you definitely need to practice But there is an efficient way to practice so that anyone can get better quickly I will specially teach you this method starting now so let's practice together There are five basic points to keep in mind: 1 The thumb is the shortest 2 The middle finger is the longes 3 The index finger and the ring finger are about the same length 4 The little finger is slightly longer than the thumb 5 The thumb has only two joints 6 The other fingers have three joints eac Just remember these five points and let's start drawing right away From here on is where it gets really important so the practice method I recommend is drawing while looking at your own hands It's also okay to draw from a photo Draw while looking at things you don't know This is the best and fastest way to improve You'll often see in textbooks that you should first draw the ship's structure and then add the flesh It says something like "let's draw in blocks " but this takes a lot of time and the drawing becomes stiff This is really just a matter of my personal preference but I want a sense of naturalness in the drawing like capturing a sequence of movement I want to draw a picture that feels like it's capturing a single moment I really follow that line while looking at the photo This is a photo I just took let's try drawing it while looking at it It's completely fine not to try to draw it perfectly from the start This is how it's shaped now a bit tilted downward like this Sometimes when you draw while looking at something it feels a bit off right I often feel that way too It feels off When that happens let's measure the proportions The concept of ratio overlaps with what I just mentioned as it also includes things like the thumb being the shortest or the middle finger being the longest It's an extension of that for example when trying to draw the middle finger the length of this and the palm's length are roughly the same Drawing by comparing the length of lines Most people start by drawing faces when they draw pictures then the body and the hands moving on like this When I thought my hand was a bit strange I measure the ratio with the face for a face this size what size should the hand be I check if I'm drawing it correctly By the way how big do you think the hand is I think there might be individual differences depending on the person but generally most people's hands are about the same size as their face or maybe a little smaller I think people with small faces often have much larger hands but roughly speaking they're about the same size as the face Don't just draw the hands by themselves It is important to continue drawing while comparing faces and bodies You often see artists posing like this that's what they do when they take photos they're actually measuring the proportions it's become such a common image of an artist Measuring ratios is really important Please measure the ratio I would like to put into practice how it feels to draw while measuring the ratio First this part of the finger bone I'll start drawing from here Here we are measuring the length around here This first curve here isn't it The length from here to here and from here to here is I think it's about the same size This turn is quite gentle When you think about the thickness of the finger The length between these joints How thick the finger is relative to this length you look at The thickness of the finger relative to this length Well it's about a two-to-one ratio isn't it It's okay to be rough and ready How long is the end part of this finger It's about this height when you look at it I'll say that's it here I'll end with my finger The skin where the thumb is growing feels stretched It comes out around the middle of this length These sides are parallel There's a thumb growing here The thumb joint is here from this finger joint It's located near this joint right And there's a nail like this Let's draw the middle finger That's right I think most people can probably get the idea here The thickness of the fingers is generally about the same so imagine that the middle finger is also about the same thickness right here Pressing it with the finger and bending it The tip of the middle finger peeking from this side Below the joint of the thumb here It comes out from around here That's right But it's already becoming a claw I'll keep extending it like this Yes something like that That's how it becomes I think it's really important to write while checking the ratio So please try it a little And now that I've given such a long speech you know I think it's fine even if I don't do it If the message you want to convey through the picture is understood then it's already a good picture For example if there's a theme of a person holding a cup Even if your handwriting isn't good at all even if it looks like this if you do it this way people can tell that it' s a cup right If you write it like this I guess you can probably tell that I 'm drinking something right It's not that I'm good at it you know But it still comes through I think that's fine So why do everyone work so hard to practice Because hands are really expressive you know Even without drawing a face just the movement of the hands can convey a lot You can sometimes sense what a person is thinking right now and you can also get a sense of their character just by their hands For example if you hold this goldfish like this This person doesn't seem to like goldfish much maybe they're a germophobe or something like that it's conveyed just through the way they're drawn you know if you have this kind of character I get the feeling that they really value it don't you That's what it is Once you get into this situation you can't show that kind of expression can you Do you hold the cup from the top or the bottom or with both hands or just one It's in these details that personality shows It's very useful because the amount of information in the picture increases It's not a problem that you can't draw hands It's actually an advantage because being able to draw them expands your expressive range It's true people who are good definitely work hard they definitely practice a lot people who are good from the start without any practice there are none Probably no one is there This world is definitely different You know how many times have I drawn my life I think I've probably drawn it about 30 000 times I still think there's a lot of room for improvement Although there are many difficult parts let's all practice and try our best to get better This video was fun to watch if you found it helpful please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel see you in the next video goodbye
