A hand holding a daisy

A hand gently holding a flower stem. Study the palm and finger joints as connected shapes before adding the smaller details.

A way into the drawing

1. Map the palm

   Draw a broad palm shape and mark the wrist. Place a curved guide across the knuckles.

2. Block in the fingers

   Use tapered segments for each finger, noting the bends. Place the thumb against the flower stem.

3. Soften and shade

   Round the joints, add a few crease lines, and shade where fingers overlap. Finish the daisy lightly.

A small thing to tryUse your own hand as a second reference. Generated studies can simplify anatomy, so compare the finger joints carefully.
