![]() Let’s be even more fancy and give the rim light a glow. If I want to be fancy I can give it a subtle gradation and rim light. I got the silhouette, now I’ll fill the background with a color and fill the hand with another color. The details are usually removed, so imagine drawing one of those mannequins at the mall. Since, anime hands are pretty much just real hands as silhouettes with flat shading, I’m gonna take one of my previous hand drawings and make it into an anime style. So, all you guys that want to learn how to draw really awesome Anime or Comic Book hands, you’re just gonna have to learn how to draw hands. The proportions and forms are very close to what you’d see in real hands. Marvel, DC, and Japanese Manga hands don’t usually take much liberty with exaggeration. Next I ink over my blue sketch using my favorite pen tool.Īnd then there’s the comic books. I’ll also add some width at the knuckles to make the finger shapes more interesting. In this pose, the tendons on the back of the hand are important to show the tension. Have fun!įor the fingers, I’m going with a design that’s skinny at the base and fat at the tips. Try to design dynamic and interesting shapes. If you’re too timid and stick to the reference too much, it’ll probably end up boring. Then a strong straight through the metacarpal bone, a fold in the skin to exaggerate the bend, and the big trowel shaped top of the thumb.ĭon’t be afraid to push and pull the shapes. There’s the thenar eminence muscle mass peeking out here. I’m designing these shapes based on my knowledge of anatomy though. With cartoons, you can go pretty far though. Go as far as I can with a crazy dynamic shape without breaking the form. The thumb is already pretty dynamic in the photo, but I want to take it 10 steps further. So, I’ll exaggerate the way those forms lock together. I really like how I can see that step down to the hand at the wrist. It’s a square, but a more interesting square. I’m using subtle curves and tapering the square thinner at the bottom. I’m gonna start with a square shaped palm. Why did they push the exaggeration this way? How did they change the forms to make the hand fit the character?Īlright, let’s draw a cartoon hand! I’ll work from a photo so that you guys can see what I’m basing my exaggerations from. Pause the movie and study the way the artist drew that hand. Look at hands from your favorite cartoons. For slender hands, think of worms, or pencils or… I dunno anything skinny. For beefy hands, think of meatballs instead of sausages. The forms and proportions can be changed a lot to fit the character. Masterful exaggeration in the right areas is what makes these cartoon hands look so dynamic and awesome. With cartoon-style hands, the shapes are more complex and are designed to express a specific pose. You have to really feel the gesture and make exaggeration decisions that help support the story. ![]() It’s hardest because you have the most artistic freedom to push things how you like. Out of the two styles I’m showing in this tutorial, I think this one is the hardest, and personally I think it looks the best. To draw these types of cartoon hands, anatomy becomes a little more important because the exaggerations are designed based on the anatomy. For example there’s the brilliant Glen Keane with movies like Tarzan, Tangled, and Beauty and the Beast. Many are more complex, and highly stylized. Not all cartoon characters have the 3 fingered glove. What separates a cartoon hand from a real hand is that the characteristics and expression are drawn in a humorously exaggerated way. ![]() This process will be the same no matter what style you’re drawing in. Add the gesture and cylinders of the fingers. Let me remind you of the procedure and the forms of the hand we already learned. ![]() To exaggerate the hand, it helps to know the hand. Cartoons are just exaggerations of reality. Watching those will definitely help you fully understand how to draw hands, even cartoon hands. In my previous hands lessons, I went over the anatomy of hands, a bunch of detail for realistic hands, like fingernails, skin creases, fat pads, veins and I gave you guys a general process for drawing and inventing hands from imagination. There’s the highly stylized Cartoon Hands, and the less simple and less stylized Comic Book Hands. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to draw two styles of cartoon hands.
