Drawing Hands Tutorial: A Comprehensive Guide

Pick up your sketchbook - today is the day you conquer hands! I'm going to give you a (hopefully) very comprehensive guide regarding the most hated part of the body to draw - hands! I've spent the past month using hands as my warm up study, whereby I have drawn approximately 20-40 hands on a sheet, and to say I've learned a lot is an understatement. I've tried my best to condense what I've learned into handy tips to help you along your own artistic journey regarding those pesky appendages.
