Key points for more attractive hand design
Tips: In order to have more attractive and charming design, you can use a small trick. Press the three fingers and separate the other one. This small change makes the design look coquetry and more attractive.
I suggest you, practice hand in proper dimensions of your fashion figure. This means if you are working on A3 paper, the size of the hand should be about 2.5 to 3 centimeters. By practicing in real size, you can draw a figure’s hand much faster.
