A human's hand is shaped like an oval. Drawing a realistic hand can be a challenge as it is hard to draw hand accurately or realistically. A human hand can be divided into half, the upper half is for the four fingers while the bottom half is for the palm. In the fingers there are many joints which make the structure of a hand.

• Divide the upper half into three equal section horizontally
• The thumb is slightly facing inward towards the hand.
• The thumb has only two joints while the other four fingers have three joints each.
• At the back of the hand, there are knuckles just below the fingers
