What you'll learn

In this series of lessons, we'll learn how to draw human arms and hands. We will begin by learning about the anatomy and musculature that makes up the arms and hands. We'll then move into the forms of that area that we need to keep in mind while we illustrate. Finally, we'll build upon our anatomy and forms to create a finished result. After we have our illustrations, we will learn about the various forms a hand can have, as it is one of the most versatile and expressive parts of the human body. Software required: Photoshop.
