Hands always do something. They should always reflect what the character is feeling, help define their personality, and express emotion.
Shape: A strong hand pose features a clear, easy-to-read silhouette. Silhouettes should also be asymmetric.
Organic Quality: CG hands vs Organic hand
Inter-connectivity: All parts of the hand are linked; no finger moves independently.
Leading Finger: One finger initiates the hand’s movement, creating flow, direction, and natural rhythm.
Grouping: Fingers are “lazy” and tend to rest against each other rather than spreading apart.
