OVERVIEW
Take a moment and analyze the structure of the hand; inside are bones and joints and around them are muscles and flesh.
BEGINNING.
Draw the mug first. The mug is a cylinder with an inside and an outside. It has a handle like the letter "C." By drawing the mug first we have a reference for positioning the fingers and the hand.
Lightly draw the hand as lines for the bones and circles for the joints. The knuckles form a curve going outward and back toward the arm, the joints form a curve going out and toward the cup. The thumb is on top, the index finger goes straight into the handle of the cup. The other three fingers are below the handle of the cup.
DEVELOP FORM
Start to outline the hand's fingers by drawing around the lines and circles that represent the bones of the fingers and hand. Give the fingers thickness, the thickest finger is the index, then the middle finger, the thumb is thick but is half hidden by the handle. The last two fingers are thinner.
DETAILS
The knuckles and joints have wrinkles.
SHADING
The bottom two fingers are almost all in shadow. The top two fingers have a shadow nearest the cup where the fingers wrap around. The thumb has a little shadow where it meets the cup and a little behind the index finger. Put shadow around the cup on the far side so it looks round.
