Two resources on HANDS here, firstly some images and secondly some pages from a book on drawing HANDS. After the HANDS resources below you will find the FEET resources.
We will start our human form project by looking at HANDS. Below are some images that show the varying properties of hands when seen from different angles. At certain angles the hand looks completely alien! We will learn some basic principles of drawing and proportion that will equip us to capture hand shapes - honestly :-) There are also some images showing different pastel styles.

Further Resources on HANDS:Here are some useful pages from a fabulous book "The Complete Drawing and Sketching Course" by Stan Smith, published by David and Charles ISBN0-7153-1540-4 The illustrations are (c) of the publisher.
Feet
We have looked at and tried ways to draw and paint the hand and these are more or less the same when tackling feet. There are some obvious differences in shape and proportion but how we measure and draw them is the same.
Some photos showing how the foot can be both strange to look at and how it can also be elegant and a picture in its own right.
