Hand Sculpture Exercise by Alexander Cherkov, from the book Introduction to the World of Art "Sculpture, painting, drawing and more"
In hand sculpture work, in fact this is true of all sculpture composition That is, do not rush to move on to processing and expression of details. The accuracy of the shape of the parts of the hand is less important than a convincing composition, which expresses the nature of the image.
Make a roll of clay, straight and flat on the bottom and with a round socket in the upper hand. Make a flat circle and attach it to the socket.
Combine the two shapes into one cone-shaped piece and at its end the wrist and palm are tilted.
Add a clay trapezoid for the 4 fingers plus a clay cylinder for the thumb. Connect all the shapes into one unit.
Mark the knuckles and remove excess clay depending on the length required for the fingers.
Sculpting the hand without an internal construction requires you to think about external support, for example, clay.
Gradually bend and tilt your fingers in the desired direction depending on the palm position you have chosen.
Once you have obtained the basic shape of the palm position, cover the hand with plastic wrap and leave for partial drying and stabilization.
