How many hands did I draw today? (Patreon)

Over 100 hands!!!

Today I was scheduled to release a new anatomy video. One of our patrons, Ignacio, requested a tutorial on how to draw hands for gestures.

If you have watched several of my videos you may have noticed that I really avoid drawing hands or I just hint at them in the slightest of ways to make you think I’m drawing them…but I’m really not!! It was the perfect crime…

Until Ignacio called me out and challenged me to finally face my demons and learn to draw flippin’ hands!

As I sat down to make the tutorial, warming up with some sketches, I realized I needed much more practice to make a quality tutorial.

I also recently got a handy new toy to play with, an iPad!

So I spent the day drawing every hand from the Bridgman book, the Michael Hampton book and a ton from Pinterest, getting more comfortable with my technique and also with the iPad.

Suffice to say, the tutorial is coming! And I’m actually very excited about it now! I’ve got lots of tips and tricks for you to make drawing hands in gesture much less scary and much more fun!

Stay tuned…
