The first drawing of the hand I did looked like a robot hand instead of a human hand. I knew something was wrong with the fingers connecting, but had to ask Joelle, my neighbor, why she thought it looked like the hand of Optimus Prime. Once she showed me Amy’s example on the board had all of the fingers connecting more to a point near the wrist, I got it. The first day of drawing hands was not the most successful for me, but I kept trying and have gotten better at least.
This hand’s fingers might be a little long compared to the palm, but I blame Rob. ;) Just kidding! The models are great. Since his fingers were closer to me, I had tried to make the point of view relevant. I’ll keep working on hands.
I find it interesting that looking at a skeleton, the tips of the fingers are so pointy. Especially typing this up right now I can picture the bones tapping away on the keyboard. Kind of eerie... Halloween like. Next year I would like to have a little skeleton in my room for Halloween. Then I can remember all the parts from drawing! Although the fingers are so pointy, tendons and muscles in your fingers make the tips little pads.
Putting these hand tendons on our manikin sure was a lot of fun. Well, maybe not described as fun, but they are very thin pieces so rolling them out was kind of like Play-Doh snakes. Babysitting we used to do play-doh ALL the time! My mom even let us make homemade Play-Doh when we were little girls. Anyways, we rolled them out and the fingers have two layers of them. They connect all the way up the lower arm too. I had a little bit of trouble telling exactly where the book was saying the tendons go up to connect to the arm. Our books can be confusing so good thing Amy knows so much about the tendon locations!
