These sketches are based on lessons in the book I bought a few weeks ago (Mark Crilley’s Ultimate Book of Drawing Hands).

Just practicing drawing hands…

Another hand based on the Crilley book…

This speaks for itself, and is based from the awesome book Mark Crilley’s Ultimate Book of Drawing Hands.

I recently purchased the book Mark Crilley’s Ultimate Book of Drawing Hands, because I have such difficulty drawing hands, particularly fingers. I can look at my left hand and draw it, palm down or palm up, but things like a hand at rest, a hand holding a spoon, a hand on the hip are more challenging.
I think this book will help me — assuming I practice daily.
Here are my first attempts.
