This is a video showing how I make what I consider to be the most durable hand with the most uses possible. It is not hard to make, it can be adapted to any size and used for so many different projects I can not even begin to name them all. Vine-like hands for pumpkin men, Long creepy-fingered hands for witches and monsters, Kungfu grip hands for dolls that can hold signs, pencils, pens, flowers, or just about anything for your office or dorm room. If it would look cool with actual hands that can hold things or just to be able to change its gesture at will then these are the hands you need to learn how to make and I am going to show you how I make them start to finish. Check it out. And please, since KZfaq has changed how we get into the feed, it is more important than ever that people "Like" the video and comment.
Handprint out so you can pre-print different-sized hands to use when trying to figure out the right scale for your sculpture. I laminated the pages and cut them out so I have an envelope full of the cutouts.

I love that you shiwed how to do this, i have mentioned to you before that i struggle with making hands, i tried making hands the other day but with just thin wire it kind of worked but i covered them with polymer clay, would you mind doing a tutorial on covering a hand with clay & then showing how to pose it after or before, thats the hardest Off topic i read in yr bio you'd been sculpting for over 50 years is that correct because you look way to young fir that im 56 myself, is it a typo, anyway thanks fir this style of hand covering with the glue too great idea, id love to know what the name of the gnome book is please 🙏 🙏

It is not a typo. I started making art when I was 5. LOL I have always been artistically inclined. I was making and selling painted shells by the time I was 9. I painted beach scenes on sea shells Sea Horses and other nautical creatures as well and I turned them into ornaments and sold them to the beach shops that sold them to tourists. It was fun and I always had arcade money. By the time I hit High School, I had already learned how to paint just about any subject with acrylic and watercolor paints and how to draw realistic still life and portraits with pencils, pen and ink, and chalk. I got into the Art Majors program after starting freshman year when the program head saw my work over my shoulder. I did not even know the school had an art majors program. Normally you had to apply ahead of time. I was also very lucky to live close to the College where Ralph Baney taught. He was an amazing sculptor from Trinidad who had exhibited his work in Galleries around the world. I was able to learn life-sized portrait sculpting in Terra Cotta from him as well as sculpting in Wood and Stone. Making dolls was a total flip of what I already knew as the normal tools were useless when working so small but it quickly became my obsession and it is what I have been focusing on for the last 15 years. Although the background education that I had with Portrait drawing and painting and also general anatomy drawing knowledge definitely helped. The KZfaq Bio does not really have enough space to fit all of that. LOL
