  1. IAT 208 Drawing as InquirySpring 2013 Week 8 Introduction to Figure Drawing: Drawing Hands

  2. Warm up drawing session Time: 15 min. • Try loose, flowing gestural drawings of the hand. • Explore form and movement of the hand in different gestures. Image from http://drawsketch.about.com

  3. Drawing hands: Consider anatomy of the hand Loomis, Andrew. (1956) Drawing the Head & Hands.

  4. Drawing hands: Look at hand as block forms Loomis, Andrew. (1956) Drawing the Head & Hands.

  5. Drawing hands: Observe the proportions of the hand Loomis, Andrew. (1956) Drawing the Head & Hands.

  6. Drawing Hands: Knuckles * Notice the radius line in the left image indicating the alignment of the knuckles with the joint of the thumb. Images from The Art of Figure Drawing by Thomas H. Maguire.

  7. Drawing your own hand • Draw 3-4 differently posed hands, e.g., different gestures, some expressive hands, and a hand holding an object. • Consider light source, try to capture the expression of the hand, and the texture of the hand.

  8. Draw a hand (and arm) Time: 15 min. • Without drawing any outlines, trying drawing from the negative space. • Try to capture little subtle curves from the negative space. Image: sermonsinstones.com

  9. Draw a hand (and arm) Time: 45 min. • Draw hands in gesture. • Consider the arm as part of a continuous gesture. • Shade considering your light source Image: Leonardo da Vinci, Study of Hands

  10. Draw a hand (and arm) Time: 45 min. • Draw a hand holding an object. • Consider the relation of the hand and the object. • Considering your light source, try to capture the light and shadow relationship. Image: figure-drawings.blogspot.com

  11. At home: Try drawing feet • Sketch in the basic structure of the foot. Think as simple block forms first. • Add lines as it passes over the structural parts of the foot, the ankle, the toes, the heel and the lower leg. • Continue to develop the anatomy of the foot. Notice the angle of orientation of the ankle bones, and the curvature of the toes. • Add details, e.g., toenails, shape of the toes, shape of the ankle and begin to indicate where you will shade the drawing. • Finish shading the drawing and do some finish outlining of the forms. Be sure to observe how the shadows fall because that will help develop the forms in space. Image from The Art of Figure Drawing by Thomas H. Maguire.
