While making this I focused a lot on making sure the proportions were right. It was quite hard, as one part would usually look to big or too small for the hand. I feel that in the end I rectify this problem.


I used graphite pencils on a regular piece of paper. I was at my house, so the only paper I had was printer paper and not the typical paper we use.


I started by drawing the rough shape of my hand. After this I defined the shape and made a realistic outline of the hand. Finally, I drew my hand using thickened lines, and drew details that added to the realism.
