Vilppu Drawing Hands and Feet

Hands are one of the strongest elements of expression in humans, and as such, the gesture of the hands is a vital part of the drawing. Hands and feet are particularly difficult because of the complexity of the forms to start with, and the variety of shapes, combinations and gestures they take. Hands and feet are subjects that seem to continually give artists a great deal of difficulty. There are many good books on anatomy, but few actually give much instruction on how to draw. Hopefully this small book will fill some of the gaps, if not in anatomy, in drawing. In this volume, I am presenting procedures and methods of drawing hands and feet that go back to the 15th century.
