Art Attack: How to Draw with Neil Buchanan Book: “FINISHING DETAILS” with Instructions

Here's how to draw: “hands”, “clothes”, and “glasses” from pages 18-19 of “Art Attack: How to Draw with Neil Buchanan” book by Dorling Kindersley/DK (“Finishing Details”).

You will need:

*paper and *pen.

1. “HANDS”

1. A lot of people find it difficult to draw hands. It's a common problem. For example, a lot of people draw hands facing forward and flat, like here. The hands just don't look quite right ...

2. ... because nobody stands like this!

3. It's more like this. The boy's hands look more like claws from the front. You can't even see all of his fingers.

4. So try the ‘claw’ tip! Draw the thumbs on the inside, near the body. Draw the other fingers from the side, and curved. You don't need to show them all.

Draw a ‘claw’ hand for someone facing forwards

5. Of course, not everyone stands facing the front! If you're drawing someone sideways on, then put in all of their fingers, and make the thumb point the way the person is facing.

Draw a full hand with fingers for someone facing sideways

Now you try! Practice!

2. “CLOTHES”

The fabric looks flat

1. Add details to clothes to stop outfits looking flat. For Example, let's make this bride and groom, and the boy peeking at them, more interesting.

2. Add a tie and detail to the groom's suit, to make him look formal. Put a crease down his trousers to make them smarter, too.

Draw lightly over the bride's face to give her a veil

3. Make the boy a bit scruffier. For an untidy look, break up the lines and edges. Add some creases in his top, and in his jeans, where he's been sitting down. Don't forget his shoelaces!

Add flowing lines so the bride's dress material seems to drape

Now you try! Practice!

3. “GLASSES”

To draw glasses, draw the bridge of the glasses onto the bridge of the nose. Draw frames around the eyes.

Add the arms of the glasses. Put two lines in the opposite corners of each frame, to make them look like glass!

The highlight makes the glasses look more realistic

For sunglasses draw frames as normal, but add a little highlight in the top corner, then colour the rest in with a dark pen.


Now you try! Practice!
