When drawing hands, start sketching hands by picturing the palm as a box, like a deck of cards. See the thumb as a separate piece, akin to a door wedge, to emphasize its unique movement. Break down fingers into spheres (for knuckles) and cylinders (for bones) for simpler posing. This approach helps create a balanced and flexible hand representation, focusing on the interaction of shapes. This method isn't just for hands; it's about understanding the basics of form and structure, applicable to many drawing subjects.

I wished I knew how to draw hands, and you granted that wish. WTF has god ever done for me? I bow to YOU sir.
😂
you mean beside give you life, send His Son to die in your place, and offer you the opportunity to have eternal life?
So amazing, one thing is using your books but watching you draw is a huge difference, a lot of great information, Thanks ✌
Yay new synapses. Things really clicked following along. Thank you!
that's exactly how i am constructing it, too! love the deck of cards
So happy you’ve started posting on UA-cam, I’ve recently bought your book off Amazon and had trouble with gestures but your tutorials have been a great additive to help in understanding. And just when I was having trouble with hands you posted this 🙌 ❤❤
Gold! So helpful
I didn't know you had a youtube channel. Hey, Mike! I read your book! Thank you for teaching me so much about figure drawing.
Amazing video keep them coming glad I found your channel
Thank you so much for this!
is this The Michael Hampton from the "Figure Drawing" book?
Yes
@@stevenmichaelhampton got your book is amazing, the videos complement the book?
@@DrawingSources-wm9zu yes, I hope so
Great❤
Hey Michael! How long did it take you to get comfortable and precise on your intous? I cant seem to get used to the disconnect - do you think its just a matter of practice?
It took a while for me. Ya, just stick with it. It'll feel comfortable eventually.
Hey Michael! Do you think your brainstorm Figure Drawing class would be okay for a beginner? Im thinking about it, but don’t know if it would be too advanced for me
Thanks for your content, it’s quite amazing!
Yes, definitely. I've taught both classes (FIG1 and Foundation Sketching) to all levels.
@@stevenmichaelhampton which would you recommend for a beginner to do first: fig1 or your proko course?
Probably the Proko course mostly because you can forever return to the videos and rewatch as much as needed
@@stevenmichaelhampton I think I’ll do that then!
If someone has no drawing experience or skill whatsoever and they want to learn from your book - will that be a good place to start?
This may seem like a dumb answer, but the beginning. Gesture allows for an understanding of the drawing process at its most abstract and foundational level. We learn to draw by understanding the way line, shape, and form work and convey information, not by outlining or capturing the silhouette of a reference. Just my two cents as everyone is different.
@@stevenmichaelhamptonThanks for the tip!
In your book, when your illustrations portray a backhand, it's not shaped like a box of cards and more like a skateboard ramp. Is there a reason for this?
I build a roof with a peak on the top of the box of cards to represent the top of the hand. This is to reflect the pitch of the hand on top to the middle finger.
@@stevenmichaelhampton thanks
Please make thumbnails so people know that this is a different kind of video than your previous ones. before you didn’t make any voiceover or face cam.
Thanks for the feedback
