👉What Everyone Gets Wrong Drawing Hands - Critiques👈

- Full 75 minute premium critique for this lesson at proko.com/anatomy
Going through all your hand assignments, I noticed most of them have one main issue. They lack structure. Constructing the hand from basic forms and following the primary - secondary - tertiary hierarchy resolves many other issues. It helps to draw the hand accurately from imagination, attach the fingers correctly to the palm, keep things in perspective, and even helps to shade. I’ll also show you how a focus on structure doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice gesture.
If these problems are still affecting you, I recommend checking out my previous lessons on drawing the hand below.

Yeah
@@brodawg1591 😭 that's what your mum said when u were Born
@@IkramDrawingZone damn 🗿
gotta hand it to you, the way you handled this video was very great.
A handful of great tips, indeed
these replies are getting out of hand.
@@arquivoNPG a handful of handy hand tips, I just cant put my finger on the best one.
... hands
Can't seem to grasp some of the comments here
As a broke highschooler with far too much time on his hands (in the midst of a pandemic) your wisdom has proven quite valuable.
Is this a pun?
@@sebastiankilga865 pun
Shit this comment hit home
And what u cant get a job? Ive been working since I was 14. That was during the great recession and later on the pandemic. With barely any recovery inbetween.
Im an artist too. I still work full time and managed to get a HS diploma.
I got laid off during the pandemic and I still work. Theres always a job. Shit i draw AT work when its slow. And watch drawing videos.
You lit up when you talked about your son! Congrats!!
Makes great art and adorable babies.
Plot twist: his wife is white
@@Andriej69 maybe he's gay and his son is adopted
@@kamaldaghmoumi9611 Possible, I guess
@@Andriej69 Just Be White strikes again!
Thanks for being patient while I care for my newborn :) Leg anatomy starts soon!
Proko YOU'RE BAAACK :')
you are my inspiration!!!
Can't help noticing how tired you sound during the vid. Hope life isn't tiring you out now that you've got the newborn. Take care of yourself if the vids start getting in the way.
Quick question @Proko, how do you spell Turtuairy(sp?) forms. having a hard time looking that up. ty love the channel
man, best art channel around.
I've been drawing more than 25 years and I started watching your vids thinking I wouldn't learn anything new. After 2 videos I've learned more than I have in 5 years (maybe longer). I always knew I skimmed over basics once I found a trick to hide my weak areas but no one ever put it so simply and compelling as you have.
For the first time maybe ever I'm going to be excited to draw basic shapes and not use my "tricks" of shading to fool the viewer, because deep down I've always known I was cheating them and myself.
You're a gifted instructor! This weekend I'm going to start drawing again for the first time in maybe 18 - 20 months, and I'm going to buy from you're curriculum! Thank you!
Niiice, how's it worked out, three years later?
result?
Wats your name?
SHAME SHAME SHAME
This comment has too much copium ngl
I try to remember the distinction between reconstructing forms and photocopying contour for most of the time, but listening to the man himself makes it whoa, I'm trusting someone's word from internet and internalizing it. awesome, imma head back rewatching the old vids for more of that.
Congrats for the baby!
So simple, he makes you understand everything so easy. Love it!
Proko, I’m not sure if you went to school for this knowledge you have or if it’s purely experienced, but either way, I agree 100%. I’ve learned hands on (pun intended) that starting from a basic idea or form and adding to it is far easier than jumping in on something complicated and giving it your all. Great video!
I am so glad I never got the bug for realistic drawings. I do cartooning as a hobby...but I adore these videos. I discovered your channel by surfing...and now I watch them all. Amazing art.
Love how you took other drawings and critiqued them. Told me a lot of what I was doing wrong. Nice.
Your references to anatomy make so much more sense to me after going through an intensive, medical-heavy massage therapy program, lol. good to know it's being put to use.
When it comes to hands, references are such lifesavers honestly. Even if I don't want to bother finding one I at least do the pose with one of my own hands a couple of times to get the general idea of how it should look. A mirror is a good tool for that too
Thx for the superb tutorial. I lost a lot of my confidence in drawing and lost 10 years shying away from real art work. Trying to get it back. Personally speaking having someone like u Proko give their valuable time for FREE and in a constructive manner really speaks volumes. It's very much appreciated. I am now subbed : ]
this video blessed my soul. this is the sort of thing that i know i will remember every single time i draw a hand.
Dude! You are so amazing! I love that through the video you keep teaching basically universal principles of good art construction. Almost using hands as just an example of how to apply them. Very helpful in many ways. Also I love your pinky gesture at 10:11, totaly reminds me of the Greek ideal and a pinky they would make. At 14:09 what you say about finding the corner is so great, it made me realize how important it is to communicate where the corners and ends are. I love you Proko, congratulations on your super cute son, take care!
This was a very constructive and objective critique, aimed to show all those little details which are very often overlooked. Learning enough anatomy for artists and some foreshortening techniques is a most. Congratulations for the new member of the family!
+Fernando Velazquez-Alvarez thank you!
I feel my mind will melt with ALL this amount of information on your channel!!! I FEEL ALIVEEEE
And man, CONGRATS for the baby 👶🏻 all the very best for you and your family!!!
Your son is absolutely adorable! Really great you still managed to upload new content.
Bruh I saw the pictures of your son and immediately gave a like. It's wonderful that you took the time to spend time with and care for him :) Keep being awesome Proko
Learning basic anatomy is invaluable with this kind of stuff.
Also, I think what some people overlook (which you kind of eluded to) is that hands emote, so knowing the action driving the hand shape really gives it meaning and life.
I’ve seen a lot of technically good and accurate art that only transmits inanimate information like “person wearing stuff and standing in a place while holding a thing” but fails to transmit purpose, mood, or action, and that just results in stiff and lifeless humanoids.
Thank you so much for doing what you do. I learned a lot from you, and I am a working artist because of your videos and UA-cam in general. For Autodidacts like me it is a perfect environment: Watch tutorials then..practice until your fingers drop!
This tutorial will come in handy for my drawing
This video is a godsend! I'm trying to make a 4k wallpaper, and while I got all the bodies and faces well done, the hands and feet are killing me!
Gonna try these techniques as soon as i get back to drawing.
Your content is actually amazing, completely changed my approach to creating forms
First, thank you for bringing a smile to my face by showing the pics of your son!! Adorable little man! :)
hey proko, just wanted to say.... YOU THE BEST MY MAN
Watching this guy critic drawings that actually looks good to me discourages me lmaoo
That’s okay, it shows that everyone has room to improve. Art is a journey that can last your entire life. Opera singers never stop trying to improve their vocal abilities c:
Thank you ! It's been a year and I've personally seen my own improvements :)
:o so proud much inspiration
I’m glad uve kept on drawing c:
@@ErosBhog I'm happy to hear that.
I wanted to advie you that any sort of improvement, of any skill, comes from the capacity to be critical about procedures, were they results positive or negative, or anything in-between. E.g: If you want to get better at art, you have to improve your capacity to recognize mistakes and working on them.
Kinda feel that you know this by know hahah.
Best of all.
You have to keep in mind that there are 2 kinds of critique: constructive and destructive. Constructive helps make it better, destructive destroys the motivation, the guy is just trying to help make it better than it already is, but you can take it to your drawings and make it improve.
Oh wow! Even these 19 minutes are very helpful! thanks a lot, Stan!
This is the best hand art video, hands down.
I am sooo gonna follow you as an instructor i lost hope with hands but been able to draw simple non weird shapes right after watching this tutorial thank you
Thanks so much for your video. You teach the the critical skills and techniques (what you need to know and the correct way to do it). Then after practice I can start developing my own style. You are a gold mine of info.
your instruction is based on deep knowledge hinged by calm patient pace for me to grasp hands ;thx man!!!!!
Congratulations!
Thanks for priceless tutorials.
Great video.ive been struggling with this concept for awhile, you put in an easy to understand way . Very helpful video thank you please continue making videos.
I learned more in the first ten min of this video than I have in a week everywhere else. Thank you so, so much.
Tus videos me han ayudado mucho gracias Proko
you are hands down the best teacher when it comes to sketching 😉
I would like to see a Manga where in every picture the hands are hidden behind something! xD
It's not manga, but look up Rob Liefeld...EVERYTHING you shouldn't do with anatomy is exactly what he is.
@@Swordsquire I always hear this and I think it's very unfair. Yeah he has a couple of very obviously weird drawings (famously that one drawing of cap) but one thing to take in mind is that he is a self taught artist, so he never had any anatomy lessons in an actual art school. and when he started out the internet did not have the plethora of free lessons it has today. And even besides that, he has made a lot of amazing art, but his worst pieces are the ones people think of.
@@Honk4frogs I can also tell you, it was more than just a couple, a lot more.

@21st Century Schizoid Man
Butt-hurt fanboy, dead ahead.
Hey, if you love hackneyed, shitty, quarter-assed, sub-par doodles, have at it.
With money he made, he should've taken some actual classes. But I guess that's would've been the smart thing to do.
@@Swordsquire lol pretentious asses whining about some dude who can't meet perfect anatomy while i bet none of them can't even draw a fucking apple straight!
This is the cancer of people.
I like you Proko. You‘re like a good buddy that is helping everyone out :) Keep it up!
You great !
This video is hands on, the best finger tutorial!
Very helpful video on improving your observational skills!
Thanks again for the great lesson Stan Also congrats on baby proko hehe
After drifting through your videos for some months, I'm, finally starting to get this : ]
thank ya
once i move out in a short while, im totally buying the the pro course stuff
Thank you so much you help me and many other artists every where!!
i like the way you handled this
These are some really great and useful tutorials. I like how you compare others work and show the corrections needed. That really helps us to understand the correct forms a lot better. Awesome videos.
This video came in handy. :D But seriously. Great video. Very helpful. One tends to forget the simple shapes that we are made from. You explain it so very clearly.
Great video, Stan! And congrats on the baby!
Really good video sir Proko, this has helped me understand hands a lot more
Hands down the best video on youtube
OH GOD! MY FIRST TIME DRAWING A HAND AND TURNED OUT WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED! THANKS A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Not only you give constructive criticism for the artists but you also give tips to the viewers. You're cool. :3
I am very impressed by your ability to explain: how to 'think' when drawing, how to see the hand, your understanding of the student, how you use others drawings as the basis for your lesson, how you explain the structure of the hand, your understanding of the student, You have excellent ability, thank you,
Congratulations with your newborn! As for this video, very amazing and analytical.
Happy D Artist brought me here. I thank her so much for that!
Thank you very much for the tutorials, i'm learning a lot with them.
loved all this information, definitely need to go and see some of your other videos on hands because even looking at references of hands i'm starting to really struggle and i'm getting frustrated
how did you get better with hands?? can you recommend any videos?? i struggle a lot too, i pull my hair out while drawing lol
i know this is a bit old, my apologies if you dont remember
@@bradlyharper6876 Honestly just repetition, tracing this method over the top of hands, copying hands, getting critiques
@@TaitRochelle Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :) Good luck in life!
You are one of the best lector of drawing here on YT and you have good speech so I understand to you without subtitles. I love your videos. Keep going. It is very helpful for us begginers. :-) Btw. drawing hands is horror for me still. More than eye. :-D
A very handy video. Will keep it on hand for reference.
Thank you! It is very constructive and helpful critique.

10/10 comment
congrats on your baby boy, must be an amazing feeling!
Really great lesson thanks so much! Helped a lot!
This video was really handy! It really helped me to finger out how to draw hands.
I think it's unbelievable how someone can shade anatomy so accurately from so many different angles. Like, it looks like a photograph!
Congrats Proko !!
This will definitely come in handy!
His smile when he shows his son warms my heart so much
Thank you so much proko
thank you so much for making these videos
you really help me for drawing .. i love your channel :)
When a person begins to paint, his desires and fantasies overtake his possibilities. Without mastering the classic drawing it is impossible to become an artist. Then, having gained mastery, you can engage in any currents and directions of painting. In Russia, traditionally a strong school of painting. Your lesson is useful and visible. Thank!🙏
Oh my he is adorable! Congrats and thanks for the great video!
you're a *GOOD* teacher...
Great lesson! Thank you so much for this!
Great lesson. And i really think this technic could apply to anything you wanna draw but with different shapes.
i don't really look at vids like this usually but hey - great critiques! keep at it
Thanks for giving a helping hand
adorable baby you have . God bless him and you for such useful videos
“I’m gonna do a Part 2 of These Hands”
Proko threatening to beat me into unconsciousness yet again.
Thank you!!! This helped me so much!
Your videos have helped me tremendously.. over a short period of time I have gotten a better understanding of the construction. I can't thank you enough. 🙂 My style is more comic inspired at it's roots. Honestly, I just found your videos. Trying to get a better understanding of the anatomy because I most always lean towards the female form. I would love to let you see something I've done and see what you think because my art is good.. or I would like to think so?. Sorry, I'm rambling. I just have alot I've love to ask you.
Congratulations on your new son. The best art you ever created.
This was really helpful! As usual, I loved the video! :)
Thanks proko!
amazing and TY Master Proko
it helps me alot thanks Proko
Love that video! Thank you so much! 🤗

Proko, awesome work and congrats on the newborn..
Very handy to learn all this.
Thanks Stan, again a great video!!!!
Congrats on your boy man!
