Hampton p.160, 174: U/E - Hand Studies I

Published:

Description

Studies from Hampton's figure drawing book.

Suggestions for the derpy hand in the upper right would be welcome. Have a hard time with the fingers from the dorsal view and placing flesh on the palmar side of the fingers without destroying perspective.

Photoshop CS6, Intuos 5 with art pen.

Nice work, I'm not sure if the following is at all helpful, but how I look at it is:

with the top right, the blocked out version worked better than the rendered one.
The biggest thing I see is that the "ring" finger is similar size to the little finger - and actually narrower, so it's probably throwing the proportions out. Think the fingers look too short, I'm guessing much of that is to do with foreshortening, but as they seem to be curling down my brain thinks they should be longer and thicker proportionally to the dorsal "hand" part. Hmmmm.. think the forefinger is about right, but the middle finger is too narrowed at the proximal phalanx.

PS I really like the fourth from left top gesture - really suggestive of movement :)
