Anonymous asked: how do you draw hands?

letscake:

Ummm… I usually just go for it? I don’t plan out that whole draw-the-palm-as-a-circle then draw-lines-for-the-fingers chart thing…

When I visualize the hand, I pay attention to these lines. 

and the rest is just whatever— I’m mostly aiming to make nice pretty lines—because look at them, those are some sweet curves. This is basically my process: (gif)

I purposefully try not to really concentrate on it too much. The stress isn’t worth it at all.

And it’s so much easier to come back to it later to fix up anatomy mistakes of even out the finger widths, etc. (if you’re into that sort of thing hoohoo.)
