Overall, very good work with structure and perspective, @Anubhav Saini! The pieces seem to fit together, and all drawings look believably 3D. Even when the perspective of the drawing isn’t the same as the reference’s, such as in the first one, the 3D space representation in the drawing is good enough to visually stand on its own. So that’s cool! Mostly, I agree with @Jesper Axelsson’s observations - what needs to be noticed and adjusted right now as you move on with these studies is mainly proportions. If possible, I’d suggest taking some time to go over these sketches again and draw on top, either digitally or with some translucent paper, a lightbox or a window on daylight. Make changes on the drawings and take notes for yourself as to where proportions need to be corrected. Take some time to study Jesper’s notes and do some more thorough observation on your own as well. You can use measurement techniques over your references to check the proportions and angles, or you can just check proportion charts and apply what you get from them. And, if you feel you need, get a little review on the video lessons or e-book too! It’s not so important to do these draw-overs and adjustments just for the sake of “making the drawings look right” - the point here is actually to learn something. So, as you make adjustments on your drawings, focus mainly on training your eyes and brain to spot what needs to be adjusted and to find your way around techniques and hacks on how to do these adjustments effectively. Also: since your studies are sort of a “stylized mannequin” of the hand’s anatomy (rather than an accurate depiction of the actual bones), definitely use Stan’s demos as a reference, too, not just Skelly’s hand. Observing the way other artists adapt and construct the 3D forms and their proportions in their drawings could be a helpful source of study in this case. As for gesture, I’d say things are good enough! Number 4 is definitely my favorite in terms of gesture. Maybe 1, 2 and 3 could have a little more exaggeration in the motion and energy, but I believe that shouldn’t be that much of a concern right now, so you’re fine here! Hope this helps. Keep it up!

Hi @Anubhav Saini, the drawings themselvs look really good. Nice perspective, structure and gesture. - In some places the drawing differ from the reference. In #1 the whole hand is more horizontal in the drawing and the thumb is more bent. In #3 the middle phalanx of the index finger looks extended and horizontal, when it should be flexed and vertical. In #5, you see more of the dorsal plan of the ring finger in the drawing. In the reference it's almost profile. - I would shrink the pinky in #4. Notice how it appears to be larger than the middle finger in your drawing. - I would double check the ellipses on the cylinders. They look right for the most part, but in some cases, they are at the wrong angle. This happened in the ring finger of #5 for example. The ellipses should be perpendicular to the length of the cylinder. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

I'm no expert @AnubhavSaini but I suppose I'm a fresh pair of eyes! Looks fab... just noticing that your palms might not be being forshortened enough for the angles you have skelly at. Maybe doing the individual bones might help getting that width right? Hope this helps at all!
