How to Draw a Henna Mehndi Hand Design Art Lesson Tutorial

Hi there today .

I'm going to be showing you how to draw some hand art , some Hanna hand art .

So it's something that I , um , I haven't done yet on youtube , but I'm looking forward to it .

It's a little bit more complex and it takes a little bit more time than my normal project .

So please keep that in mind .

The first thing that I've done is I've outlined my hand with the sharpie marker and it's not the normal sharpie marker that I use .

I usually use the one that's a little bit fatter , the fine point , but this is the ultra fine tip and it will let us have a little bit more detail with our project .

So you'll want to outline your hand .

And if you're younger then maybe you can get a friend or a sibling or your mom or dad to help you with this because it can get kind of tricky .

See like right here , I have my , my ring right here so it can get a little bit tricky .

And if you'd like to do it in pencil first and then out line it with marker , that's a good idea as well .

So let's get started .

I'm gonna start out with the fingers and at the base of each finger , I'm going to make two lines just like this .

And I'm pretty much going to go and order and go systematically from finger to finger and keep in mind if I get going too fast for you , then just pause the video and until you catch up .

So that's our first step .

Now we're going to make another line on top of that first line just like that .

And then inside the lower lines , we're gonna going to make some straight little lines going perpendicular to the first lines .

This is pretty detailed .

So as I said before , it takes a while , but the effect is really , really outstanding and I know that parents love this project because it has to do with a child's hand .

All right .

So the next thing you'll wanna do is go underneath and make a little scallop , little use connected to one in another just like that .

I hope you can see my scallops here .

I know my hand might be in the way .

OK .

Now we're going to move up into each finger .

So the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to make it , I guess it would be called a clover shape .

So we'll do that on each finger .

And what I like to do with these clover shapes is I like to fill them in with marker .

I'm not going to take the time to do that .

But I think it looks neat if they're really dark .

So , coming down to the clover shape , you're going to make some squiggly lines , but we're not going to go all the way up , not going to go all the way up because at the very tip , you're going to make something different .

You want to leave a little bit of room for that .

So just some squiggly lines that are attached at the top .

Now , let's go to the very tip and we are going to make , I guess you can call them similar to fingernails .

And then inside of those tips , you're going to make some circles three or four , it's up to you .

I'm going to make three today .

Now , outside these circles , I think it looks really neat if you could color this in with your marker , but don't go inside the circle .

So you'll have a little white dot That's showing that takes a little bit of time .

So I am actually not going to do that right now .

I'll do that a little bit later .

But if you'd like to stop the video and if you'd like to do that , that would be a great idea .

All right .

Now , coming out from each one of these squiggly lines , you're going to make some straight lines coming out just like this all the way up and down the other side , all the way up and down the other side .

So I'm gonna do that very quickly .

Just make sure that they're straight and they're coming out and my hand might be covering up my work right now .

Sorry about that .

But I think that you probably get the idea and I just keep going .

It's actually kind of relaxing if you start making these hand to hand patterns .

Now , at the tip of each one of these lines , I think it looks neat if you put a little circle , a little circle and this also takes time .

So I think what I'll do is I'll just do one of these just to show you the effect and then you can stop your video and you can finish that up .

All right .

So we color this in all around the dots and then you color this part in right here .

OK .

Let's move on to the center of the hand and we're going to start at the center and we're going to do our artwork from the center out .

So what I'm going to do on this particular one is I'm going to create a swirl like this and then I'm going to stop it just like that .

And it's going to basically , I don't know , it kind of looks like a snail shell and you close it up and then I'm going to go over it to make it a little bit thicker and then I'm going to fill it in , fill it in .

So you have a series of lines that are thin and then some that are thicker .

And then I'd also like to go around this one as well and then fill that in .

Keep in mind you don't have to stick with my exact design .

You can do whatever you want , whatever you think looks good .

You might want to put some dots in here .

You can do anything that you'd like .

Now along this circle , I like to add some more scallop edges .

OK .

And then I hm let's add some little flower type petals .

So basically curve line in curve line out , then let's curve the line in , curve the line out and we just keep doing that over and over again until we get around the page .

Well , that one is a little bit different , but that's OK .

That's the neat thing about art .

That's what makes it unique and special .

All right .

So at the tip of each inner part of these little leaves or little petals , I'm going to put a circle and then I think I'm going to double this up to make it look a little bit more interesting .

So I just follow the initial line like this .

Oh , it's looking good .

OK .

So inside each of these little petals , I think I'm going to put a circle and then I'm going to turn that circle into a little daisy to give it a little bit more detail .

And I'm working pretty quickly if you can slow down a little bit .

Your work will look the best that it can look .

Right .

I think what I'll do along the outer edge is I'll put some more scallops .

I think that would look really nice .

So I'm just kind of going with , um , anything that kind of pops into my head .

Scallops are always a really neat thing to make .

I'm just going all around these outer pedal lines , almost done .

Yeah .

Ok .

I'm trying to think of something to put here along the outer area .

So I really like swirls a lot .

So I think I'm gonna make some swirls just like that and maybe I'll make them doubled .

So they're , they stand out a little bit more .

I think that will look really cool one right here .

Hm .

I think I can fit a small one here , maybe one here .

Now , your area , if your hand is smaller than mine , you might not be able to do this stuff , but you might , or you might want to put some dots or just some circles , it's up to you .

You might have run out of room by now .

All right .

So let's move down .

Excuse me , let's move down now to the wrist area .

This is the wrist area .

So , what I think I'll do here is I'll find the middle of the wrist and I will make four circles and I'll put those circles together just like that and inside of those circles , I'll make a smaller circle and then I'm going to fill them in just like this .

So that way , actually , it'll look a little bit different than the four initial circles that I made to look like one shape .

OK .

From there , I think what I'll do is I'll make some straight lines coming out , y'all make three .

And then on the lower line , maybe I'll fill that in with some black , make the contrast a little bit higher and I'm not filling it in very carefully .

You'll want to do that very carefully .

And then on the upper line , maybe some tiny little lines .

Um hm How about some scallops , some larger scallops here underneath some dots in the middle and then maybe some teardrop shapes right here .

Three tier up shapes .

Now , as I said before , you can add anything else that you'd like .

I think that I like the way that mine looks right now , so I'm going to stop .

Uh I hope that you had fun with this and I hope that you liked the project .

I appreciate you watching and I hope you have a good day .

Thanks .
