How to Draw a Pointing Finger Step by Step
- Draw the palm.
Add the main part of the palm as an irregular rectangle with rounded corners.
- Depict the wrist.
From the side, draw several parallel lines to represent the wrist.
- Add the thumb.
At the top of the hand, start drawing the thumb, which is bent and pointing down.
- Sketch out the pointing finger.
Draw a smooth line to depict the extended pointing finger.
- Draw the rest of the fingers.
Use smooth lines to draw the rest of the fingers in the same position as in the example.
- Depict the nails.
On each finger, carefully depict the nails.
- Add the folds of the skin.
Using thin lines of different sizes, draw the folds of the skin to give the hand a realistic look.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Correct the mistakes if necessary and remove the extra lines in your drawing.
- Color the drawing.
To color the skin, use any natural shade, paint the nails with a lighter shade.
