sketchbook: Practicing Hands



I've been working on the untitled illustration I started last week, focusing on the deer head section in Adobe Illustrator. Today I started sketching out arms and hands. I like the initial sketch I started off with, but I felt like getting more practice with the proportions and masses of these highly expressive parts of our bodies.

The references I used were found in Hand Signals & Gestures:

  2. Thanks Erin, I'm still a little intimidated by hands, but I think I understand the masses better.
