How to Draw Hands Workshop

This highly detailed and extensive workshop explains everything you need to know to create refined and realistic hands. Together we will start off with basic palm and finger structure utilizing correct proportions, then move onto how tendons affect movement. Next we'll incorporate muscle, skin, and fingernails to round out our drawings and finally learn about shading to bring a real depth and realism to our works. 

You also have the option to get personal feedback through email from me, Caleigh Bird, three times over the course of this workshop for that extra boost in conquering this challenging subject matter.
