Socrates once said, "If we hadn't a voice or a tongue, and wanted to express things to one another, wouldn't we try to communicate by moving our
hands”.
Webster's dictionary defi nes “hands” as; The terminal part of the human arm located below the forearm, used for grasping and holding and
consisting of the wrist, palm, four fi ngers, and an opposable thumb.
Hands are the chief organs for physically manipulating the environment, used for both gross motor skills (such as grasping a large object) and fi ne
motor skills (such as picking up a small pebble). The fi ngertips contain some of the densest areas of nerve endings on the body, are the richest source of
tactile
feedback.
A normal human hand consists of Digits, Bones (27 to be precise), Articulations, and Muscles. An artist must be familiar with the anatomy of hand in
order to reproduce it Artistically.
Your Job is to draw a picture of a hand that is as realistic as possible. Remember that a hand consists of fi ngers, a palm, and an opposable thumb. Your picture
must show
at least two fi ngers connected to a palm.
