![]() ![]() Once I’m happy with my rough sketch, it’s time to clean it up. The pinkie tends to tuck under the ring finger and the end joint of it may not be visible depending on how the hand is being held.įinally, sketch in the position of the arm. The middle finger rests on top of the bottom chopstick, while the ring finger curves in slightly below it. Now we can sketch in the rest of the fingers. Looking at the space between objects in your reference can help with the proportions in your drawings. Be sure to look at the distance between the end of the chopsticks and the end of the finger to get the size correct. Paying special attention to where the joints of the finger are, sketch in the rough shape of the top finger. To do this I drew four ovals along the top of the palm. ![]() ![]() I wanted to be sure that I got the spacing of the fingers correct, so the first thing I wanted to do was mark out the knuckles where the fingers meet the palm. In the drawing reference the thumb wraps around the top chopstick a bit more and I liked that. Here is where having multiple references comes in handy, because I actually liked the thumb better in the CSP Asset reference when compared to the photo reference. Be sure to think about the form of the hand as well, because the palm is not a flat object! ![]() This palm is a bit of a curved rectangle shape. Next, I draw in the rough shape of the palm. So, using the straight line Direct Draw tool, I made two long, thin, slightly tapered rectangles to represent my chopsticks. This helps me position the hand and fingers around the object instead of drawing the hand and then trying to fit the object in later. The first thing I like to do when drawing hands interacting with any object is to rough in the shape of the object. However, if you do get this asset pack, I am working from Pose 10 (which you can see in the layer palette in the screenshot above) However, since the asset pack does cost 50 gold at the time of this writing, I will not be showing the full pose that I picked in this article. In addition to some photo reference, I will also be looking off of a pose from CSP User Seagullll, who created an awesome pack of vector hands holding chopsticks that are available to use. If you don’t know about the Subview window, you can learn more in this previous article from me: For easy access to your reference, you can load it to the Subview window. Thankfully, a picture of a hand holding chopsticks is very easy to find online! There are tons of results to look at on Google Images from all sorts of angles. It is very important when drawing something you’re unsure of to have reference images. So let’s break down a pose of hands drawing chopsticks to see how it all goes together! Hands holding chopsticks are something you’re very likely to see in manga. I write weekly posts on and on CSP Tips, so be sure to come back every week to learn more Clip Studio Tips and Tricks from me! Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact. I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program. Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!). ![]()
