OVERVIEW
This drawing of a hand with the thumbs up is seen from the back of the hand, which I think is the more natural view opposed to the palm view with the fingers curled in.

BEGINNINGS
The hand has a box shape, so start with a large square that is slightly tilted down. The thumb is a square with an oval at the top. The wrist is a triangle shape. Use a rectangle for the sleeve. The fingers are curled back so they are shorter due to perspective. Start the fingers with a rectangle on the edge of the square.

DEVELOPING FORM
Use a guideline for the knuckles and edge of the fingers. The guideline will curve from the top corner to the bottom corner of the square for the knuckles. The guideline for the fingers edge will start from the top corner of the rectangle to the bottom corner. Place ovals for the four knuckles on the guideline. Draw three lines for the fingers; the lines should go from the outside edge to between the knuckles. The ends of the fingers are the first joint and are slightly rounded

THE THUMB
The thumb curves back at the joint which is halfway up, so the lines curve around the outside of the thumb joint, and inward at the inside fold.

REFINING
Go over your drawing and give the outside edge a clean flowing look. Erase any extra lines.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Use shading technique to give the round appearance, and use shading to put in the veins and tendons. Add wrinkles around the thumb, knuckles, and joints,

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
It is good to understand the picture you are drawing so you can draw it correctly. We will draw this from looking straight onto the knuckles with a little of the back of the hand showing and the fingers to the first joint.

BEGINNING
The hand from this view is slightly rectangular so draw lightly a rectangle, (you will erase this later so draw lightly). Just for reference draw a curving line from the top corner to an eighth of the way back on the bottom line, this is for the finger joint edge. Draw another curving line starting on the top of the rectangle at about 1/3rd from the back edge this line curves back and then forward to touch the bottom line at about 1/3rd. This is a reference line for the knuckles. Use a line to placemark the thumb and two lines for the wrist and back of the hand.

DEVELOP FORM
Mark off three points for the lines between the fingers, once you are sure the marks are evenly spaced draw a line from the marks back they should all end evenly below the thumb.  Lightly draw circles for the four knuckles at the base of the fingers. Use an oval for the pad at the top of the thumb- the thumb is as tall as the distance from the top of the hand to the third knuckle. The outside edge of the fingers are joints, their shape are not flat nor round but they are angular and slightly rounded; draw this with three lines as if you were drawing a half circle with three straight lines.

REFINING THE DRAWING
Erase the extra lines. Go over the outside edge of the hand. The back of the hand is tilted down and is like a triangle. The bottom finger curves up from the wrist. There is a triangle fold of skin below the bottom finger's knuckle. The thumb looks like a stretched out peanut. There is a knuckle at the base of the thumb it looks like a bump on the top part of the back of the hand.

SHADING
The bottom of the wrist is all in shadow. There is a little shadow between each finger and around the edges. The inside edge of the thumb is in shadow. The ends of the fingers are slightly shaded. Use shadows to draw the knuckles on the back of the hand. They look like triangles of shadow

BEGINNING
This lizard is mostly the frill and the head, so we will start there. The head is shaped like a square on top of a diamond. The top of the head is the eyebrows and they are two slightly curving lines going down to the middle. The eyes are circles under the eyebrow and curve outward. The mouth has a diamond shape inside, inside the top half of the mouth is all in shadow. The teeth are very small and are only little bumps along the edge of the mouth.

FRILL
The frill is shaped like two circles on each side of the head. There are folds going from the edge of the frill almost to the face, some may go all the way. The outside edge of the frill is wavy and wrinkly.

BODY
The body is very simple it is two long lines that get closer to each other until they touch at the tip of the tail. The legs are very skinny, they stick out at the sides. The feet have two thumbs each and the other fingers are very long.

COLOR
Some frilled lizards have a lot of colors some do not.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
Some people start on the humpback but that is only a minor detail, so save it for later on even last. Do the face first because the story is in the expression and the pose. Draw a large oval or egg shape for the head, make sure it is leaning over on one side. Draw a guideline down the center to help reference things. Use a stick figure technique for the arms, shoulders, and hands to get the pose right. Because he is hunched over and leaning forward the shoulders look like they are at his ears.

DEVELOPING THE FACE
Since the face is deformed it is OK if things are off-center.
     * The eyes are halfway down and are just two curved lines going down with half circles below.
     * The nose is like three large circles in the middle of the face.
     * The mouth is almost like a lopsided triangle.
     * Make the upper lip like the letter "m."
     * The ear is big and sticking out of the side of the head.
     * The hair is only above the ear and a little above the forehead.
     * Give the face wrinkles and two or three baggy chins by drawing curving lines.
     * Put a few warts here and there.
     * Give him three teeth on the top and on the bottom.

BODY
Use large circles and ovals to go around the stick figure form and fill out the arms and shoulders. After the form looks right sketch over it the shirt and tunic. Keep the hands simple they are mostly seen on the side. The thumb is at the back and sticks up over the top.

THE SCENE
Draw the arch behind him and the part of the bell showing behind the arch. The balcony railing is full of fancy decorations start them as circles and then connect the circles into decorations. Fill in the spaces between the decorations with arches and lines.

Tips for Drawing a Still Life With Jars Worksheet by MrAdron.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNINGS
Start slow. For your first project select three or four items that share a theme. In our example, we have glass jars but it could be four cups, or four apples, or four tools, etc.  Arrange the subject. Do not get too tidy; put some things in front and some in back. Leave a little space between so things are not too crowded. The things in front will be lower on the page.
Look it over and decide if it is interesting.  Avoid items that create barriers to the eye like something with long lines that dominate the arrangement. The eye should rove around the subject.

PRE-SKETCH
Do a rough draft of the drawing loosely. Don't try to be perfect just get things in place on the paper. Look for the shapes of objects and use the basic shapes of squares, rectangles, ovals etc. to compose the parts of the drawing.

MAPPING
Our still life is of glass jars. We want to catch the shiny spots, so we draw them early as outlines, that way when we are shading we don't shade over them. The darkest areas are determined and the first layer of shading is applied.

DEVELOPING DETAIL
Sketch in the details like the far sides seen through the glass or the raised edges.

SHADING
Use the side of the pencil shade in areas. Do all the light areas first then go over the darker areas. Look for reflected shadows and shadows inside shadows. Remember to not shade over the highlights that you mapped out before. Use a blending stub or a tissue to blend the shadows and give the glassy effect.

Shading is the biggest job in the drawing so take your time and take a few breaks.

BEGINNINGS
Use the stick figure technique to draw a man standing. Use circles for the major joints and bend the arm at the elbow. Add in the line for the spear and a large rectangle for the shield.

DEVELOP FORM
Around the stick figure add the thickness of the arm and the leg. Draw the torso as a boxy rectangle.

HELMET AND ARMOR
The helmet is a half-circle on top. It has a bold line across the brow. The helmet has two side guards that cover the cheeks, they are drawn with curved lines. Behind the helmet is a neck guard, only the edges show out of the sides like narrow triangles.
The body armor is a series of rectangles that come over the shoulder and another set of rectangles that wrap the body. They have buckles in the middle.
The kilt looks like a skirt that goes almost to the knee. It is leather strips that look like long rectangles

HAND
The hand is wrapped around the spear so you are looking at the back of the hand. Draw it like a square but curved outward no the side toward the solder. The thumb is on the backside of the spear just draw a half circle where it comes across.

WEAPONS
The spear has two parts, the wooden shaft, and the metal lance. Use a ruler or straight edge to draw this so it looks good.
The short sword hangs on a belt that comes down from behind the shield. The sword is a rectangle and goes from the waist to the knee, at the bottom is a triangle. The hilt is simple, a circle on the top, the grip curves inward slightly and there is a short crosspiece.
The shield has a metal edge, draw the edge as two parallel lines that go around the shield. In the middle of the shield is a metal round piece, draw it as a circle with a square around it. The shields were decorated, so draw lightning bolts or eagles or lions on it.

FACE
Keep the face simple. Make the jaw and chin square. Draw eyebrows as a thick straight line. Draw the eyes as straight lines with dots below. The nose is a line going down and over a little bit. The mouth is a straight line with a little downward dash at the end.

FEET
The feet are like rectangles but a little pointed on the large toe. The sandals have three straps going over and two straps wrapping around the ankle.

Draw the cape last.

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.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
The guard is a simple figure of an adult. Start with a stick figure to get the height and proportions right. Do not draw the uniform or the hat at this time. The shoulders are wide and the waist is narrow the feet are spread slightly apart. The right arm, (which is on the viewer's left), is slightly bent. Draw a guideline for the weapon.

DEVELOP THE FORM
Around the stick figure draw the form of the man.

FACE
The hat covers everything above the eyebrows. The strap of the hat goes over the face and under the lower lip, so the chin shows below the strap. The eyes are straight ahead. Keep the face simple.

UNIFORM
The jacket has a white belt at the middle slightly above the waist. The collar has golden leaves on the sides but in the small drawing just do a triangle-ish shape and color black around it. The sleeves have square decorations going down at the cuff. There is a black background at the cuff. There are buttons to the right of the seam. The shoulders have golden decorations across the top. Many guards have medals won for bravery in combat, draw it as a circle with a triangle above and a thin rectangle above that. The pants are black.

HANDS
The hand holding the weapon is a line for the thumb that goes inward and back, the fingers is two lines that make it look like the letter C laying down. The other hand is mostly hidden by the sleeve but a line can show the fingers facing inward.

The shoes are very black and very shiny, so before you color them in outline a few shiny spots and make sure you leave them white.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

This drawing project is mostly putting together basic shapes into a design.

BEGINNING
Use rectangles and squares to work out the basic shape of the truck. Use huge circles for the wheels. (Sometimes I trace around lids from jars or other things to get the circles right).

DETAILS
There is a gearbox underneath the truck: draw it as a square or rectangle.
There are two driveshafts going to the tires from the gearbox: draw two parallel lines for these.
In the wheel wells are two shock absorbers: draw these as narrow rectangles.
There is an exhaust pipe going up behind the door: draw it as narrow rectangles.
There is a roll bar: draw it with straight lines.
There are headlights: draw them like rounded triangles.

TIRES
The big tires are circles inside of more circles. Draw guidelines up and down and across to make a reference so you can get the inner circles in the right places. Take your time drawing the knobs on the tire tread. Use reference marks to indicate where the knobs are and keep them even. After you draw the reference marks then draw the knobs.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Use shading technique inside the wheel wells. Make the tires dark gray with black details, put black between the knobs. The gearbox and drive shafts are a dark color.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!
