I thought I was not going to write this one multiple times but yet I haven’t seen my tips anywhere yet, I guess I got something unique to the table then. Here we go 3 simple tips to draw hands that has worked for me.

1. Simplify. The shape of the hand can be broken down to three shapes, The four fingers is a rectangle(pizza shape is spreed). The palm is a square. And the thumb is shaped like a chicken drum stick.

2.Negative space. Pay attention to the negative shapes between fingers. They are usually three triangles and a bigger triangle. Then instead of focusing on five fingers you can start the design with 4 shapes.
