The document provides instructions for drawing hands in 3 steps:
1) Draw a circle and oblong shapes for the thumb and fingers as a basic guide.
2) Add detail to the guide using your own hand for reference.
3) Shade the drawing to complete it. Learning hand anatomy from books can improve drawings, but using directional lines and the blocking method to define shapes is most basic.

Step 1:
Start by drawing a circle and oblong shapes for the thumb and fingers like in sample 1 below. Once we have our basic guide down we can mark out where the fingers will go like in sample 2.
Step 2:
With your guide in place you can now start to add detail, you can use your own hand for reference. 12 Step 3:
Now all you need to do now is shade it in like below. How to Draw Hands and Arms: Basic Techniques Learning how to draw hands is, for many one of the hardest things to learn when learning to draw people.
This is especially so when you draw in a representational manner, i.e. the way kids learn to draw: by representing an object, rather than drawing what they actually see.
Drawing hands is next in importance to drawing human faces, as hands are also full of expresion.
To draw hands - at their most basic level, you only need to start with directional lines to ensure the correct placement of fingers. 13
Use the blocking method to get define the planes or surfaces. This method also emphasizes the points where the lines change their direction: 14
You can also draw children hands using the same method.

But to draw a hand correctly, you -the artist - need to have a knowledge of its internal structure, of the bones that make up its framework and define its proportions, of the muscles that direct its actions. You can get an anatomy book like Grey's Anatomy to learn that aspect of the human hands. However, it is better if you can get a book that shows you their anatomy from the artist's point of view. Perard wrote a book called "Hands and Their Construction", which contains instructions on how to draw hands (in an anatomically correct manner).
