Day 3 - Hands - 12 Days of Proko
4mo
Stan Prokopenko
Hands down, the second most expressive part of the body after the face, is the hands! They hold a remarkable range of emotions and gestures. Challenge yourself with 5-20 minute poses using our timer tool to practice the gesture, structure, or anatomy of the provided hand photos. If you need a hand ;) with this challenge, I have a whole series of video lessons (several are free) about drawing hands in my anatomy course. Here’s the first lesson, and the others are in the playlist on this same page:  How to Draw Hands – Muscle Anatomy of the Hand All of the images in today’s reference sample are glorious photos of Marshall Vandruff’s hands, featured in the Proko Hands pack - Poses for Artists - Hands INSTRUCTIONS: Go to https://proko.com/timer, select the Day 3 reference pack, choose the quantity and duration in the right sidebar, and start the session! When you’re done, share your hands here in this thread for a chance to win some prizes.

10 mins timer for each. I had a lot of trouble with the one I'm pointing at (top left was 4th attempt). Not sure what's the main issue, I think the length/perspective of the palm facing up?? Did I overly shorten it?

You didn't think of the palm as a solid( front plane, side plane,...)

20 min hands, been a while since I’ve done any hands. It’s always a fun challenge balancing structure and gesture.

First one in charcoal on news print (not so good), second one concentrated more on getting the shapes better.
