1. Form and Structure
Hands are not flat, two-dimensional shapes without a sense of depth; they are infinitely varied three-dimensional forms, full of vitality and intricacy, with every part of their form and structure interconnected. In this chapter, we will observe the spatial and depth of hands from different angles, focusing on the curves and tension patterns of the hands, carefully examining their sense of volume, size, shape, and the structure of muscle groups, and studying the relationship between these structures and the whole.
