Book of a Hundred CLASSIC Cartoon Hands

Return to Previous Page

From the highly stylised hands of The Fairly Odd Parents and Dexter’s Lab to the delicate digits of anime, cartoon hands come in many different styles. This guide looks specifically at Classic Cartoon hands. By ‘Classic cartoon, we mean the plump, four digit hands seen, for example, in Disney and Looney Tunes animations.

Hands are notoriously difficult to render but are at the same time an incredible important part of a character’s expression. This means that being able to render them from any angle and in any pose is extremely important in creating more expressive characters. To this end, ‘Book of a Hundred Classic Cartoon Hands’ consists of 3 parts to help you achieve this:
