Learn how to gesture hands by breaking them into simple parts and focusing on shape, rhythm, and expression to support storytelling in your drawings.

Drew these after following the advice ,envelope, palm, fingers. I find this breakdown so useful as it stops me becoming overwhelmed at the prospect of having to draw hands.

I really like how this course teaches you to find gesture in everything (even if it requires some optimistic imagination) It's not just bodies that have gesture, but skulls, cars, and even scenery
