I have a stressed relationship with hands, but I guess more on the boney side xD I put lots of hard points on the joints and stuff, and often find myself indicating the knuckles with some sort of line as well.
Neither. I draw them meaty and butch by default.
I have big ole dwarven hands in real life so they pop up on probably too many of my characters.
Neither. Mostly I draw them blocky looking...
To be honest, I'm somewhere in between? I like to draw where the joints are a lot, but I tend to have really round edges.
Some examples of my hands, like I said, I really don't know what one to put them under? I guess they're softer than boney? But it depends on whose hand it is too?
Thin and boney. A lot like my own hands tbh.
I think the hands people draw are often either A. very similar to their own hands, or B. Align with the preference they have in hand shapes when seeking partners.
I just look at my own hands for reference, and I assume other people do so as well. As an artist you also see your own hands like 90% of your workday.
@akemikae see what you mean.. Those are very well-drawn though!
@Shanny8 Woah really? I never thought of that...
Ugh drawing hands is a pain for me. I and a friend talked about it and they say they say ”Just accept it doesn’t look good” and so I do. And they start looking better instead.
I don’t vote there because my hands drawing is abstract looking
I'm usually in the round hands club. Here's some hands I doodled yesterday.
I do both? Like I draw hands differently for each people, draw little fat hands for kids, skinny shriveled bony hands for withered sickly characters. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Can't answer the poll. I draw them pointy and boney when I sketch but they always end soft and round when I lineart.
Basically in between, but depends on the characters though.
My own hand is on chunky round side, it's also small I don't like it so I try to avoid drawing small hands. Honestly I'm bad at drawing hand.
hmmmm i can't decide, but maybe i lean to option 2. idk
I think it depends on the character, but I'm leaning towards softer lines.
I...actually don't know what to pick. I do both, depending on the art style I'm using, and I don't find any one easier than the other. They're both a welcome relief from realism to me. ^^;
I feel like I'm generally soft and rounder...but I try to slim the fingers more for female hands, and add more bone structure to male hands. Otherwise they;d look the same and you couldn't tell the difference when having a closeup of two hands holding.
Sup. Official patriarch of the boney hands gang here
