Here are my attempt for this assignment. Starting out with gesture really helped. Some angles of the hand was pretty tough. What do you guys think?

My 5 minute gestures!

This is just one page of 5min gestures - only the most simple were from imagination - the rest I used my own hand as reference. I'm going to continue with these, I enjoy them a lot, and definitely picked up some great tips!

These are great!

A bit mixed up with sketches from other lessons. Filling in every empty space on the page.

Very cool pages 👍

My first try at the assignment today. Man that was not easy. My brain was working hard while i was drawing these hands. Perspective was an issue as well as thumbs. Hand holding objects are also very difficult to pull off but hey, at least they do look like hands.
@dizzlebird
Here's the second try at 5 minutes hands. It is fun but also frustrating in parts because I can't get the flow and proportions right.
Antonia Kowalewski
Really fun painting from refs, but still, as soon as there is no reference, it gets much much harder :)
Patrick Bosworth
These are great! Wonderful balance of straights and curves, really beautiful gestures, shape design, and simplification throughout. Keep up the good work!!

Here are a few hands for this assignment. I need more confidence in my lines but I think my gesture has improved from where I was at with hands prior to this lesson. I didn't have much mileage with hands prior to this so for 5mins studies I don't think these turned out too bad all things considered. Feel free to critique away!
Melanie Scearce
Nice hands! It looks like you found a good flow. I like the shapes in your second set of hands. The fingers feel a bit long on the hands that are outstretched. When you're working so gesturally, it's easy for the proportions to get away from you, so just make a note for your next session. Not a huge deal for this kind of sketching. Thanks for sharing :)

Well, I clearly need much more practice, but at least I feel like I am improving. I have no idea what happened to that last hand, though. 😅 Feel free to critique

I think these hands are nice (and the shading is cool too) I think your fingers are too short and the palms get too big. Find the proportions of palm and length of fingers. Keep practicing!
Alexander Artman
Was always anxious on drawing hands and this helped on giving me a good foundation to try to overcome my fear of drawing them. I found myself practicing more on these so I build some muscle memory. It’s not easy but I’m having fun

Exposure therapy! Keep up the studies :)

Went back to studying hands this past week. Doing this assignment again to continue to improve. 🤟🏻

Here are my last drawings for the assignment. Too many to send on the previous post so here is the rest of them

My first few hand drawings for the assignment. I spent 5 minutes (roughly) on the majority of them and did 24 of them equalling to 2 hours of drawing hands. I really enjoyed this assignment and found drawing hands not as difficult as I thought. I did do a hand drawing at 20 minutes which is my favourite and one at 10 minutes that I thought was also pretty good

This was a very challenging but intressant assignment. I had to regress to pencil for a while as I was practicing, to convince myself that I could draw at all. For some strange reason it all became easier when I began to sketch with a lighter coloured pen. I have no clue as to why!
Patrick Bosworth
Nice work! There's definitely something that tricks the mind with lighter colored pens, it doesn't seem as intense when a line goes awry. An indelibly dark ink line can be intimidating at first, but stick with it and you'll adjust. Ballpoint is fairly forgiving if you keep it light, and build up to darker lines. I find it helpful to do a warmup page with a micron, or sharpie, something with an intense dark line, and then switch to ballpoint, it helps get some of the jitters out, and builds line confidence quickly! Keep up the good work!

Lots of hands, I feel like I'm struggling with thumbs primarily. The form there is just so weird sometimes.
Chuck Ludwig Reina
These look really good! One thing I found that helps me with thumbs a lot is remember that the thumb is "under" the hand, generally. It hangs below the plane of the palm. That was a huge game changer in how my hand sketches look.
Jay Nightshade
Yikes these are not great lol. But I am forcing myself to post stuff. Gotta show up to get better. This has been a fun course so far :)
