![]() This tool helps you give your drawing a smooth finish. Step 12: Its never too late to blend with the tortillion. Step 11: Now is a good time to start using the eraser to "smooth things out" and create highlights. Step 10: Begin to use your darker pencils such as the 2B and the 4B- especially in the darkest parts- be careful not to press too hard because the darker pencils are more difficult to erase. The mid tones will help you create highlights (LATER.NOT NOW). After you build the mid tones, use the blending stump (tortillion) to smudge. Step 9: Use cross hatching to build up solid mid tones. ![]() ![]() The darkest areas are between the fingers and the fold of skin at the base of the thumb. Step 8: Use the reference images and the video to help you shade. Step 7: Complete the crescent moon shape to create the origin of the wrist. Take some extra time to notice where each side of the rainbow connects, Unfortunately no POT OF GOLD at the end of the rainbow! Step 6: Add the rainbow shape on the left side. Step 5: Add the trapezoid like shape to connect the egg shape with the rest of the hand. Take some extra time to notice its placement. Finally, notice that the width of each finger increases from bottom to top. Observe the shape that was created on top. Fill in the ends of the bent fingers by creating sideways rainbow shapes. The two in the middle are almost straight, but not quite. Notice that the top one is straight and angled downwards and the bottom one hooks upwards on the right side. Step 2.) Observe the lines that stem from the right side of the rainbow. Notice that each rainbow gets progressively further apart from the previous one as they move towards the top of the page. Remind yourself to look at the reference image at least once for every five seconds (This is especially important during the shading). Take your time! I have noticed that the most successful students look at their reference image more often. 1.) the video 2.) The step by step directions on this page 3.) A printable PDF (Link at bottom) with step by step directions. Next week, I promise I’ll show you all my mouth study.You have three resources to work from. I think the coolest part of this drawing is the shading where the fingers meet together and touch the palm. In fact, with my music playing in the background and half an hour just to myself, I actually really enjoyed it. This time, however (and I don’t know if it’s from using a live model or it I’m just getting better or both,) I didn’t find drawing a hand to be too bad. ![]() I’ve tried several times before, and they usually look either cartoonish, or just really out of proportion. Unlike landscape, plants, or animals, I tend to veer off when approached with the idea of drawing a hand. I usually avoid drawing hands whenever possible. Until this assignment, I had never drawn anything from look at it in the present (if that makes any sense.) I normally use reference photos, so this was a totally new territory for me. My art instructor specifically told us to draw looking directly at out hand, and I can not tell you how tired my hand was after give a thumbs-up for half an hour straight. And because looking at my mouth study makes me cringe, I’ll be showing you my hand drawing first! Hey everyone! So I told you last week in my Facial Study~ Part 2 post that I had drawn a hand giving a thumbs up. ![]()
