Drawing Hands and Feet These drawings are relatively loose even though they are based on photographs.In many respects drawing from a photograph is more difficult than drawing from a model since the natural tendency is to copy.Notice in these drawings that I do not necessarily use the tones that we see in the photographs but rely on my under- standing of the form and construction. 具有版耀的饲刊 Gesture-Anatomy-Construction Page9
Drawing Hands and Feet In going from gesture to construction,I generally do one on top of the other,keep ing the gesture part of the drawing very light.In these construction drawings I still keep a fairly loose feeling to the drawings even though I am using box forms.Re- member no rules,just tools.

Drawing Hands and Feet In constructing the hand,I start from the wrist and visualize it as an oval or box form.I add the wrist,visualizing it as a spherical form,much like a mannequin In approaching the mass of the metacar- pals,keep in mind the slope to either side from the middle finger,and also the fact that the palm is larger than the top of the hand,extending half way to the center of the finger joint.In the next series of ex- amples I am focusing on illustrating the box forms.In practice,I still always start with the gesture.The box is a tool that help you understand how to render the form,and helps in organizing and clarify ing the forms in space.
