CLASS DESCRIPTION
Getting Started with Expressive Hands

Have you ever underestimated the complexity of a hand? They seem simple because they are all the same. However, each hand has numerous bones, muscles and tendons which create many ridges and curves. The real difficulty comes because of its movement. A hand can vastly change how it looks from the tiniest of movements.

Understanding its structure will help you to grasp the unique poses of the hand.

This class explores basic techniques helpful for painting and drawing hands. Looking at the underlying structure of a hand will give you an understanding of the intricate shapes and values necessary to render them. By the end you will also complete a full portrait!
