I think it doesn't matter as long as the hand is that of hunoidish form. (So I guess some type of android robot might be ok). I see this week's challenge as a challenge to draw hands, and drawing an organic hand is usually much more challenging that a robotic squarish hand. :s Let skammy say though his opinion on the subject.

EDIT: Yukky typo.

I guess it should be fine doing an andriody hand as smk said (since it would basically be a metallic version of a human hand anyway). Anyway, post your ideas in here if you're unsure.

Oh yeah,really thx for the tutorial! really helped! :)
and good luck everybody,I really hope to win this time!.

Competing the other time in the initial challenge was fun... I didn't win but now I have a smiley ribbon in my profile :D
anyways, I'll try to come up with something for this challenge.

im gonna make a hand holding a penis

Denmen you need more contrast its look like a blob :P

someone should make a guy picking his nose...

Where did it say that it had to be a single hand? Or just a hand?

@Manjaman: Reminds me of these creatures from the Oddworld series:

here's an early WIP:

it's a stickman hand! i even saved as .jpg for max quality

anyways, interesting contest, i'll probably actually do something later :P

Here's my lineart...

I've been kind of obsessed with hands lately so this challenge came at just the right time. Good luck to everyone!

well, focus is not on the hand, but...

kinda wishin i'd taken a picture of my hand to use as ref or just found one on the internets cause now everytime i try to put it in the same position the lighting and the position are different and it's annoying me haahahahaa

So.. New here. So figured I'd start out doing the challenge, So.. Without further adieu here is my WIP of Hands.



There are doing the Awkward turkey high-five. IDK if anyone else but people around me have heard of it.

Deff in love with this :) Hope you can finish!

I've never done hands before....

I changed my mind and decided to go with something pretty basic that focuses more on the hand
Here's my latest WIP
