How to Build a Hand Reference for Drawing
I'm Andrew Joseph Keith, here to show you how to make a hand armature with aluminum wire, pliers with cutters, and modeling clay. Cut five wires for fingers and one for the forearm, shaping them like a hand. The thumb wire should be shorter; use your hand as a guide. Then, add clay to form the wrist, palm, and muscles, paying attention to knuckles and joints for a realistic look. This DIY wire hand mannequin is great for improving your drawing skills, offering a 3D model to explore hand gestures and anatomy from different perspectives.
