How to Draw Holding Hands in a Few Easy Steps: Drawing Tutorial for Kids and Beginners

Children from various parts of the world hold hands in friendship or in play. Certain
rhyming games, such as "Ring Around the Rosy" and "Red Rover" involve hand holding.

Parents hold their children's hands, often as a means of protection, authority or


control. For example, a parent may hold a child's hand while in a public place or while
crossing a street in order to keep the child close and protect him from potential
dangers.

In North America, hand holding among adults is typically seen as a romantic gesture,
indulged in by couples who are dating or married.

In many other countries, however, adults may hold hands as a sign of friendship or
respect. For example, in 2005, Americans were shocked to see photos of then-
president George W. Bush holding hands with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. This
adult hand holding is traditional in parts of the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the
Mediterranean region.

At protests, demonstrators sometimes hold hands as a sign of solidarity. This is called


a "human chain." During some protests in Asia, several million people have joined in
this hand holding behavior.

​Step by Step Instructions for Drawing​ ​Holding Hands

1. Begin by sketching the !rst arm. Draw two diagonal, parallel curved lines.
Notice the angle in the top line that indicates the curve of the wrist.

2. Extend a long, curved line from the bottom of the arm. Double the line back
upon itself, outlining the thumb.

3. From the thumb, extend another long, curved line. Double the line back
upon itself, forming the pointer !nger. Notice the angle formed by the nearly
straight lines of the top of the !nger. This indicates the bent knuckle.

4. Draw a curved line upwards from the !nger, beginning between the
!ngertip and !rst knuckle. Follow the curvature of the pointer !nger, forming
the middle !nger. From the middle !nger, extend a similarly curved line to
form the ring !nger. From the ring !nger, extend a curved line to form the
pinkie !nger. Allow this line to connect with the wrist, completely enclosing
the hand.

OTHER EASY DRAWING GUIDES:

5. Next, begin to draw the !ngers of the second hand. Enclose two elongate
rounded shapes, one smaller than the other, overlapping the hand and
pointer !nger.

6. Enclose two more elongate rounded shapes, overlapping the hand and
thumb.

7. Extend a curved line from the base of the thumb. Allow the line to cross
over into the thumb, doubling back upon itself until it almost connects
outside the hand. This forms the thumb of the second hand.

8. Erase the guide lines that cross the !ngers.

OTHER EASY DRAWING GUIDES:

9. Extend a pair of parallel, diagonal lines in the opposite direction from the
!rst, outlining the wrist and arm of the second hand. Use a few short, curved
lines to designate the palm at the base of the wrist. Then, detail your hands.
Enclose the rounded shapes of !ngernails at the tips of the !ngers. Draw
short, curved lines to indicate the curve of each knuckle, both on the !ngers
and on the back of the hand.

10. Color your hands.
