Manga / Animé Hands and Feet

by Matthew Lin

Description







A step-by-step drawing workshop. We’ll start some basic hands, chibi style for a warm up, a fist, resting hand from the front, holding an object.

I’ll share some of my ways of approaching drawing hands and a few poses that everyone should have in their repertoire.

The final quarter of the workshop will look at feet. Starting with chibi style feet, then taking that to regular manga/animé style.
