This is a free how-to-draw a hand with the palm-up drawing lesson and printable worksheet.
This printable drawing worksheet is a simple project and ideal for beginners to help with the basic hand.Parents and teachers may print the free drawing worksheet at the bottom and the project notes below for personal and class use for free.

The hand has many parts, so we look for ways to make it simple.
PALM
The palm is like a square, but not exactly. If you can't draw a perfect square, you have an advantage because the palm gets wider by the fingers and just a little narrow at the wrist. The top of the palm by the fingers is curved with a curve that goes across and a little extra down at the pinky finger end.
FINGERS
Before you try the fingers, use three sweeping guidelines to mark off each knuckle and the tips of the finger. This works for the three center fingers, but the pinky finger is further down.
The first one closest to the palm is a little longer than the other two bones. Each finger except the thumb is divided into three sections by the two knuckles. The muscle between these joints curves out a little. The bottom of the back is straight lines that may bend a little outward at the knuckle joints. The joints have wrinkles.
THUMB
The thumb has only two bones and one joint. The back part of the thumb starts by the wrist and curves outward; the inside part closest to the palm can look like it is in the middle more or less since there is a lot of skin that folds or stretches.
DETAILS
There are many wrinkles and lines in the palm, but add them carefully and don't overdo them.
There are some balls of bone at the base of the fingers; use the shading technique to show them. There are highs and lows in hand by the thumb muscle, a bowl of the palm, and the base near the wrist; use shading technique to show these, but again, do not overdo it.
