I've been gradually getting back into drawing these last couple of weeks and one of the things I've always had trouble drawing was hands. They would always end up looking disproportionate and leaving a lot to be desired.

So this morning I had a look for some tutorials on Youtube and a video from Mark Crilley appeared, my wife had recommended his videos to me before and I have to say it was fantastic. I followed his instructions and I was really happy with the results, it was certainly an improvement.

The image above is the one I drew this morning and the drawing below was done on my break at work, I had just enough time to apply the ink. Here's a link to Mark Crilley's 'How to Draw Hands' video too.
