How should finger lines be in an expressive hand drawing?

Correct answer: Changing according to bend, tension, and gesture

Direct answer: B, with lines that change according to bend, tension, and gesture. Fingers are not rigid, identical sticks; their direction, joints, curves, spacing, and pressure change with the hand’s pose. In an expressive drawing, the artist first observes the overall gesture of the hand, then indicates the major direction of each finger and the bends at the joints. Suitable variation in line helps show whether a finger is relaxed, bent, stretched, or pressing against another finger. Option A is wrong because identical straight lines make every finger look stiff and artificial. Option B is correct because changing the line with the pose communicates movement and expression. Option C is wrong because ignoring joints and bends removes important structural information. Option D is wrong because an outer square cannot describe the organic shape and gesture of a hand. Memory cue: observe the gesture first, then draw each finger’s direction and bend.
