The Best Ways To Draw Shaking Hands

Here are some of the best ways to draw shaking hands:

Conventional way:

Make the outlines of your hands the same length, but make the fingers shorter. This way, you will be able to “see” your hand and fingers from different angles. You can then fill in your hand with details as you go.

Opinionated way:

Ditch the conventional and try an “in-your-face” style for your drawings. Draw your hands the same length, but make the fingertips pointy and the palm is the widest part of the hand. This will give your hand a more aggressive, “on-the-rails” look.

Egyptian way:

For this drawing style, draw the outline of your hand a little bit wider than the palm, and fill in the details as you go. This will give your hand a more elongated look.

Skeletal way:

Draw the bones of your hand first, then draw the flesh. Be careful not to draw the bones too small or too big, or your hand will look funny.

Oval way:

Draw an oval for the palm of your hands and fill in the details as you go. This drawing style gives you a lot of room to play with when drawing your hands, so don’t be afraid to get creative!

3D way:

Draw a cube for the palm of your hands and fill in the details as you go. This drawing style is great if you want to make a more three-dimensional drawing!

3D oval way:
