Learning how to draw a hand is an integral part of mastering human drawings. Even when displayed independently, they can express many fun meanings.
So, I am sharing these easy hand drawing ideas to draw hands in many symbolic poses and angles and many with fun objects (bird sketches, insects, flowers, etc).
Since many think of hands as a difficult subject, I have kept the references for hand drawing simple. Many you can use for special events. So, let's get started with a determination to learn something new.
Passionate artists need merely a thought to show their skills. If you are one of them, these best hand drawing ideas will help you a lot.
Tips For Hand Drawing Ideas
Below simple tips below will be helpful for you when drawing a hand:
- Always identify the angle and pose requirements.
- Start with a rough outline with basic shapes.
- Notice the different lengths and widths of each finger. It depends upon the angle and pose.
- Add extra lines to indicate joints and knuckles, and lightly outline any visible skin.
One tutor on youtube teaches how to draw the hand in exact way. You can learn here before heading to the collection!
Thumbs Up
This drawing shows a hand gesturing "thumbs up" and one of the easiest hand poses to sketch. It is at the start to encourage you for the upcoming ideas. You will also draw a small portion of the shirt to make it a little more detailed and colorful than the skin shade.
You can add an encouraging quote below the hand and hang it on the wall to stay motivated.
Butterfly Landing on Finger
It really doubles the fun when we draw a butterfly landing on a finger. We will frame it to use as spring decoration after coloring.
The main learning process here is how to draw an outstretched hand from the three-quarter view or front-left angle.
It can also become an example of a motion sketch. You can make as many separate drawings for various moments of the butterfly landing until you finally depict the butterfly has sit on the finger.
This drawing can help you improve your animation skills and to perceive a new angle.
Balloon In Hand
Our great memory of childhood is a gas balloon in our hands. So, this drawing idea will refresh those fun moments of our lives.
The child's hand pose is very similar to our "thumb up" drawing. But, the difference is drawing the thumb folded instead of up. I tried a multicolor balloon whose string extends to the hand.
However, you can try the balloons in many shapes, draw as animals, or anything else.
This drawing is colorful, quick and meaningful. So, I think will be suitable for birthday party invitations.
Handshake
Drawing together strengthens the bonding and simplifies the work. So, call your friend to redraw this handshake scene from the front angle properly. You can try this on a Friendship Day card with a loving message.
The reason it calls someone to help is that the handshake is a difficult pose. It includes the front and back sides of the hand, displays the specific portion of each and hides the rest.
So, you have to learn a pattern from the above example and then start outlining it.
You can also use it as a unity and peace symbol for your classroom.
Holding a Rose
This drawing is a beautiful way to express love for someone without saying words. I prefer you to use it as an anniversary greeting card. If rose drawing is a practiced thing for you, this hand artwork will be a 1-minute job.
This is merely an idea; You can draw a hand holding any other flower, from sunflowers to daisies, etc if a rose is difficult for you.
A Bird in the Hand
Another sweet memory of childhood is birds. A great way to symbolize our love for them is by sketching a cute bird sitting on the palm of a hand. This drawing can be hung as a bird conservation symbol.
You can also learn the outstretched hand pose in a new angle - the left side. However, to make it unique, you can include your favorite and most practiced bird.
Hole in the Hand
It's a funny idea, but I included it to end the collection with laughter and something simple. I found the best use will be to display the vowels. You will draw a hand and add a mark to show if a hand has a hole - not simple!
