I love making awesome comics! I want to carry on drawing and creating!
I want to purchase a subscription to The Phoenix comic.
Want your characters to interact with their world? Here’s how to draw hands gripping, holding, and using different types of objects.
Drawing hands is hard at the best of times so drawing them holding another object is doubly tricky. Use this reference set to get you started. Remember the basic shape of the palm and that each finger is divided up into three cylindrical sections, apart from the thumb.
Once you've got a hand of drawing an open hand start to move the position of the fingers, whilst keeping the shape of the palm generally teh same, to create different poses. Start by just bending the fingers slightly.
Try using these references to create your own drawings.
These too!
When drawing swords I use a small torch as reference, like this example.
See how in so many cases the shape of the palm is always the same. Try it for yourself!
