“Hand modeling” by Sean Hewitt
You can download the finished model here for observation.
Here are some examples of a couple other hands I’ve made before. I used the same method to model these but you can see how the geometry is a little different. It’s the same concept though and that’s what really matters. That these fundamental ideas can take you different directions in the end, and by utilizing these patterns you can have a fairly quick turn around time on something fairly detailed and ready to rig.

hello..i want learn imp hand maya..pls re
amazing modeling steps gr8 help . . . !
I appreciate your tutorial, while you omitted some critical details I still was able to figure out most of ’em, I guess we are just lazy to think on our own. So dude thanks again and keep ’em coming.
i missed out at the last stage, i know i will cope if i give it a 2nd shot… that is a good job sean hewitt. though i have done some hands before but not as realistic as this!
Agreed. This is a poor tutorial, You miss out all of things making it impossible to carry on to next steps, I got to page four and have no idea wtf to do.
I agree with Darren, when I’ve tried to followed those steps I can’t figure out on what to do.
seriously, you left out a ton of steps, and your written descriptions of what you are doing are like those “how to draw” books that go like, “step one- make a circle….step two- now you are done…” and the picture they are asking you to make is all shaded and rendered out…..needs way more pics of what you are doing here…almost missed the step where you moved the verts of that original bevel/merged em with that one edge loop….Also better angles + different ortho views of what you are doing might help….other than that, thanks for the tutorial!
