Midterm Exam - Hands

While there are many theories about how to get good at hands, the best way is just to draw them alot and start memorizing them.

You will have a Midterm Exam on Thursday Oct 23rd at the beginning of class.  You will need to be able to draw 3 sets of hands (2 angles each = 6 total) from memory in a set amount of time - about 15 min.  There will also be a pop quiz sometime in the latter half of the semester to see that you havn't forgotten what you learned.

You may choose the 3 sets of hands that you will be tested on.  These should be hands that you deem useful.
I recommend:
 1) relaxed or at ease
2) holding something
3) Action/movement.
You will need to be able to draw each hand from 2 different angles

Draw the hand that is your Dominant hand (i.e. the hand you write or draw with.)

You will need to post a Page of the 3 Hand poses you are memorizing - this is how I will grade you exam.  These are the hands that you will memorize for the exam.  They can be stylized or realistic.  Your reference can be from the hand reference I posted, or from photographs.
