Does anyone know of any artists who studyed drawing and painting hands?

Question

I need some references! Thanks!

Answer 1

All artists who represent the human form have studied hands at some point - they happen to be something that need a lot of study to get right!

If you just need references to help you draw hands yourself, the very best ones are on the end of your arms! You can find hands to draw everywhere - on yourself, in photographs, in portraits - or if you want just hands, try this:

If you specifically want studies by artists, there are plenty of those too. A few examples--

Da Vinci: http://www.theartgallery.com.au/arteduca...
