Drawing hands alone has it's challenges but getting the proportions down in a series of different poses was an exercise I tried here. Sharing some quick rough sketches of hands in variations and techniques.
Varied Pen Strokes
I used controlled pen strokes from left to right using cross-hatching method for shading. Then loosened up towards the right.
Minimal Shading
Here I used pen again but now a lot less shading. By highlighting the white space to help with the light hitting the top of the hand. Darker minimal strokes on the bottom to emphasize shadows.
Mixed Media
I started by outlining the dimensions with graphite pencil, adding shading along the way. Then finishing off with pen for more dramatic shadowing.
Hope you enjoyed.
