Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Start with the Thumb
Draw a rounded thumb leaning toward the upper left. Continue its lower edge into the palm and add a curved thumbnail. Place a separate curved crease inside the palm, leaving a small gap.
Pro Tip: Keep the thumb broad and noticeably shorter than the fingers.
Step 2: Draw the Index Finger
Draw a tall, narrow arch rising beside the thumb. Bring its right edge down and add a short curved base crease.
Pro Tip: Round the fingertip instead of making a sharp corner.
Step 3: Add the Middle Finger
Draw another long, rounded finger beside the index finger. Make it slightly taller and finish with a small base crease.
Pro Tip: Leave a narrow valley between the two finger outlines.
Step 4: Shape the Ring Finger
Add a rounded ring finger to the middle finger’s right. Tilt it slightly outward and mark its base with a short curve.
Pro Tip: Keep this fingertip a little lower than the middle fingertip.
Step 5: Complete the Little Finger and Palm
Draw a shorter little finger spreading outward on the right. Continue its outer edge downward to form the palm’s right side.
Pro Tip: Let the outer palm narrow gently as it approaches the wrist.
Step 6: Outline the Wrist
Extend a short line downward from each lower palm edge. Join these lines with a broad, gently curved wrist base.
Pro Tip: Keep the wrist narrower than the widest part of the palm.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
