Many viewers may experience difficulty in drawing the hands. This is a common problem many people have, in this post I will demonstrate how to draw hands and provide you with the best link I know.

First off it is best to draw a few hands alone before adding it to any character’s body.

Step 1

Draw a shaped outline of how you would like your hand to look or act

After being at ease with drawing different types of hands, one may put it in action. Present it on a full body drawing and continue from there. Hands can be difficult because they demonstrate so much acting and feelings within a character. However, with lots of practice anyone can be a great artist.

Finishing our post on the head, we should move on to the body. A anime character’s body can be beautiful or exaggerating depending on how you like your character to be.

Trying drawing standing up figures first, it is the easiest to begin with.

Step 1

Draw an oval under the head and a circle underneath the oval a distance of 2 -3 centimeters apart.

Step 2

Then connect them with a curve line for the body.

step 3

Both legs should contain 2 smaller circle half length from the big circle and from each other.

Step 4

Finally connect them with a curve line.

Anime body’s can be as long as you like, short as you want or proportional. This here is the average shape and size.

Step 5

body3

For the arms they are the same as the legs but not as long. Both arms contain 2 small circles half length apart from each other. The first circle lined a little but below the breast and the second along the hip.

Step 6

At the end connect them with a curved line.

body4

Step 7

Lastly for the hands, just draw a trapezoid and your done.

In an anime drawing there will be lots of curves because we want it to be beautiful, on less your ideal anime character is tough and wearing an armor then it will be straights lines most of the ways.

The following link will show you a better description.

About me

I have worked as a sales associate from senior year of High School to freshmen year of college. I am well prepared for communicating and interacting with future companies or working conditions. My leadership skills are presented during my high years; I formed a Chinese yo yo club and was nominated club president.

Finding blog ideas are simple, you just have to find the thing that interests you enough that will make you to want to share it to others. Blogging is like sharing something with a friend or explaining something to your family.

My ideas come from the things around me; people, animals and environment. These are the best idea giver because they are always there and always the most natural. People can inspire you with how they look and what they do. Animals are good idea givers because they are all different in a way that will make them special only to you. Lastly, the environment is the grand giver of ideas, it’s always changing yet, it gives humans the best views the earth can offer.

My main theme is artistic blogs I prefer to write about historical art piece and explain about the meaning behind it. Fashion blogs are mostly based on clothing, jewelry and shoes. Fashion in a blogging service is very popular; it is what most people in for online. The more advice and information posted on a site, the greater the views will rise. In essence, these are my concepts of finding blog ideas.
