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

Step 2

Note where you would like your palm to start and end

Step 3

Mark the shape of the fingers

Step 4

Outline the shape of the fingers

Step 5

Add the details, it will be easier if you form the same position with our own hand and use it as reference

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

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.

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.
