This picture contains a few studies of hands drawn this past Friday and Saturday. Carbon Pencil and White Charcoal were used. The technique I used to get the proportion is the one that both Ted Seth Jacobs and Anthony Ryder use.
You create an envelope and continually refine the contour until you have a blueprint. It's astounding how easy this technique is. All mistakes are easily corrected by this procedure. There are no artifial structures to work with (oval for head, cylinder for arms etc.) It is daunting at times to continuously remind yourself to represent what you see rather than the preconceived notion of the object before you. You may tell yourself that a shoulder, for example, should be more rounded, but does it truly appear to be more rounded? Is there really a full value range or do the shadows tend to stay in the middle range. With all that said the right hand still seems a little off, but that just means more improvement.
