I wish there was a demo on how to handle the hand when it's at a smaller size like on a full figure drawing. This feels really tedious and impractical for that kind of situation. Fine if a hand is at a larger size, great for understanding, but as part of a full figure? I can't see this being useful, too much info in too small a space.

Fair enough. I see the point of this exercise being to learn as much as possible about the hand so that when drawn in the context of the full figure you know what you'll be editing and how to achieve a more simplified design.

First attempt at hands.

2nd attempt. Need to work on the initial gesture.

Wish we had a little more time on hands. Overall the straight hands are quite straightforward. As they interact with objects or become more dynamic it gets complicated.

Nicely done!

Hands are something which I want to learn but, it's a pretty intimidating part to learn, I'm using the book as reference to learn the construction further.

My notes on the video. I'll practice more with the photo packs.

Sketches related to this and previous two lessons. VHS (plain paper) Sketchbook , A4 size: 210x298mm, HB mechanical pencil. I have also drawn here a top model view with a bit of shading lines. On the second paper I have overdrawn some previous small sketches..

looking at the hand as a series of rectangles, cylinders and spheres simplifies this process so much! I practiced this method with other hands

The spheres might be too chunky

Got me! All of a sudden there were hands and i thought I somehow missed hands the instruction. :)
