This will be my last Style Study post about Hiromu Arakawa, and today it’s all about hands! What artists doesn’t (even if in the past) have trouble with hands? Here are some tips bout how to draw and simplify hands.

How to Draw Hands

 

I really love how Arakawa shades the digits of the hands. It’s just gorgeous. Merging the top 2 digits of the finger is just so interesting to me. It just looks nice. Of course, it’s better when the hand is in a dynamic position rather than when it’s relaxed. That’s probably why Arakawa does it so much with Scar.

And that’s it for my Hiromu Arakawa series! Next, I’m doing to be redrawing and studying the art of Rei Toma, Artist of the manga Dawn of the Arcana.
