Hand & Gesture
The hand has a special position in portraits and in human portrayal as a whole, as it is the element which, in addition to the emotional expression of the face, can express how a person communicates with or acts in his environment, to what extent he retreats or opens up. Creating the right proportional relationships, including to the face and environment, can be practiced here.
An understanding of the construction and anatomy of the hand helps us to represent it spatially. A look at various acting options expands the range of stylistic expressions.
We work with skeletons, templates, by hand and partly with models.
Suitable for beginners and advanced users.
Material: Drawing paper (preferably DINA3), drawing utensils, fineliner if you want
* plus 8, - € model money (to be paid in cash per model evening)
