  • Steve Huston shows us how he draws dynamic and expressive hands. You can also check out my interview with him here: • Growing as an Artist -...
    After my interview with Steve Huston (which I recommend you watch) he was kind enough to draw some hands for us. He shows how to break up the hands into basic interlocking forms and how to use cross hatching to get a 3D effect.
    Steve also recently published an instructional book on figure drawing. I think it’s a must have for every artist learning how to draw:

    I’m putting together a bunch of demos for drawing the hands. I want to know what poses and variations you want to see. Reply to this comment to vote for one of these or suggest another: Holding Objects, Fists, Foreshortened Hands, Female Hands, Cartoon Hands.

    • @anyanP
      @anyanP 7 років тому +4

      Holding Objects and Foreshortened Hands. Probably foreshortened hands are more preferable.
      I find cartoon hands on one hand really interesting (since simplification sometimes helps to understand structure/gesture/appeal better) but on the other hand kinda... too easy. I guess more complicated topics would be a little bit more useful, 'cause they are harder to study on your own.
      Oh, yeah, and i really wanna to see hands interacting with each other, like holding hands and locked fingers.

  • @AlexTehGr8
    @AlexTehGr8 7 років тому +254

    Here's the biggest tip for everyone I can offer:
    Block out your shapes first and look at the angles of the shape. Don't detail until it looks fantastic with only a few shapes

    • @johngddr5288
      @johngddr5288 Рік тому +2

      this. I didn't realize I would mirror subtle angles into the opposite direction if I didn't slow down and make sure the shape block in was nice.

    @AlfredReinoldBaudisch 7 років тому +25

    @Proko, please do more of those with him. I actually am not an artist (yet) and I never drawn anything other than frustrating doodles, but I'm finally learning and practicing it correctly and the way Steve draws, his shading process with cross hatching and the way he explained the shapes, etc was very helpful. One of the best shape and gesture breakdown I've seen so far. I mean in a broad way, not hand related.

  • @PartyC4nnon
    @PartyC4nnon 7 років тому +20

    Extremely helpful. I think the biggest issue I have with anatomy, and not just the hands, is the design invention of it. Too many times i go into "detail overload", drawing what I think i see and never considering what to include and not include, and how to approach my line outside of contour

  • @WaSiLLy63
    @WaSiLLy63 7 років тому +7

  • @paul-oram
    @paul-oram 3 роки тому +4

    Very illuminating. I really like how he talks about designing the drawing - this is informed by his anatomical knowledge - its what frees him from merely drawing what he sees.

  • @harryOTuna
    @harryOTuna 6 років тому +1

    After listening to Mr. Houston’s interview I was curious what kind of teacher he would be. And after watching this lesson I was not let down, he is amazing. I can see why you have such a high opinion of him, I only wish that more taught with his style.

  • @TheMcCullaShow
    @TheMcCullaShow 7 років тому +2

    I enjoyed this entire video, but, strangely, the drawing theory that Steve began at 24:50 was one of my favorite snippets. In addition to that, I write exclusively with fountain pens on a daily basis, but when drawing traditional it's usually graphite, Conté Pierre Noir, a Windsor & Newton brush for inking, etc...filling up a sketchbook of just my fountain pen has always been on my artist bucket list (so to speak). This video fuels me into making that happen. Thanks Steve & Stan.

    I could watching him doing this all day! What he's saying is quite deep, and interesting. Like there's meaning to every stroke, not just to make it pretty. Maybe it's because I'm such a beginner here.

    It feels like I'm learning from Optimus Prime. lol.
    I really like his voice. And I also like the philosophy that he has on his drawings. It's not like one of those Tutorials on Proko channel. It's not about just how you draw hands. Or anatomy of hand. That's what makes this vid special I guess.

    Thanks for the demo. Does the direction of the hatching line matter? Mr. Huston does his from upper left to lower right. Can I do it from lower left to upper right? (on the same drawings in the demo)

    • @TheCodeOfArt
      @TheCodeOfArt 7 років тому

      bzwatching For hatching, either make all your lines follows the form, or follow the light. In the first example (still watching) he goes left down right because that's the way the light is shining down as well.

    • @mathilda6763
      @mathilda6763 6 років тому

      Tapa Hoover I think it's also because he's drawing with his left hand. Drawing diagonal from up left to low right is more comfortable for the wrist and arm than the diagonal up right to low left.
