how to draw HANDS | Butch Hartman 

You should do a 'How to draw' SERIES! Do videos for eyes, lines of action, etc! And put them all in a playlist for easy access!

thx butch. now i can stop drawing circles for hands

1:37 , Butch keeping it PG

You are such an inspiration. Thank you for not only making my childhood but inspiring me to start drawing again.

*notices that 1 dislike Dinkelberg...

last few minutes felt very bob ross

this ending is adorable, shout out to butch! 😭

Recently you asked your Instagram followers why do we watch your videos. This is why. The qualification you have over other random illustrators on RU-vid is tremendous. But it's not only your qualification, it's the confidence you give me, and hopefully many others. Ever since I found that you have a RU-vid channel, I haven't been able to stop drawing or thinking about drawing. You've given me the courage to try different thing when drawing, even if I might not be very good at them when I first try. Thank you so much Mr. Hartman.

That speech at the end was so freakin inspirational.

Ahhh, I love the inspiration at the end, you're truly a legend!

Can we just talk about how inspiration Butch is? Like, he went total motivational speaker at the end and I LOVE IT. It's just amazing that he's taking the time to do this and post it onto RU-vid for public consumption and for his fans to appreciate and learn from him.

Can we take a moment to realize how incredibly inspirational he was at the end. That made my day.

I'm actually an art student, and hands are the absolute bane of my existence. I greatly appreciate how simple this is compared to how some of my teachers and other videos have explained it.

This is perfect timing (God's sense of humor I guess) cause I've been getting ready for a convention where I plan on selling my first book and you have no idea how many times I've thought about pulling out, about "Who'd care about reading Harley's book". I clicked on your video because I actually had learned how to draw hands from Danny Phantom first. His hands were super easy to learn and I thought it was funny you had put this out. Thanks.

I wish you were my art teacher, when I was a kid I really wanted to be an artist but lack of any talent coupled with art teachers that told me to give up meant that I got completely discouraged and never carried on with drawing. But that video really inspired me to try some doodling, thank you!

lol Butch your editing this video is on point!

9:17 Dang, man... That was truly inspiring! Really spoke to me! Thank you for that motivation! :D

Man, Butch, I could just watch you do drawing tutorials for hours. You're such a big inspiration.

Hey Butch, Just wanted to say thank you. Ever since I was a child I would draw/ trace. Actually, tracing helped me as a child to draw. I grew up with your cartoons and I'm in love with Fairly odd Parents and Danny Phantom. I've always been in love with drawing, inking/coloring on paper or a pc, and writing.I have been working on a web comic for the past half a year....this is my first time ever doing something like this. I've put my art on deviantart, and am still shy to share my work. I also suck at drawing hands and bare feet. I appreciate this vid a lot, and breaking the chains of fear and regret resonated with me. When I started to watch your channel it reignited my need to work on my webcomic. Again, thank you for your artistic work, me as a youn adult and my childhood thank you!

Man, your editing and zooming is nuts

"im not gonna show you the middle finger like most people do it"-Butch Hartman 2017

Damn butch that motivation this is why ur my fave

Well Butch.... I'm crying.... great video!!!

at the end it was very inspirational

Butch is my hero.

Hey Butch! Long-time artist and fan of your work: you definitely should continue with these "How to Draw" videos! It's equal parts informative to younger artists and relaxing to watch and listen to. Very chill. Keep it up! This rocks!

I started crying once you started talking about that bondage that really does bring me back, when you mentioned all those things I shouldn't be doing and what I should really be doing towards my art, it made me realize how much those thoughts were stopping me from doing my art, Thank you Butch, this was a great video that made me just think, " Wow, that is a beautifully drawn hand!" and I would love to always see all your videos about drawing and so much more. Thank you so much, I will take your word!

Reminds me of my art teacher from elementary school. She was one of the nicest and best teachers I had. Was never an artist but enjoyed her class and she said that everything in art starts with a basic shape most of the time and showed us little kids at the time things she learned to draw

you're so sweet! Thanks for the encouraging words! 😊

Draw Chester from fairly odd parents on the big whiteboard

this guy was many people's childhood, and now he has a youtube channel where he can interact with his fans and TEACH US HOW TO DRAW?! what a time to be alive!

The editing is gold!

Mr.Hartman I have two questions and one suggestion. My first question is what was your least favorite episode to work on and what was your favorite? My suggestion is that you add Sparky to more episodes. Thank you!

that editing!👌👌👌👏

I started watching this video a while ago when it first came out and ended up not finishing it. I had only started watching because it was Butch. At the point when this video came out I was sinking into a really bad place and, despite drawing every day for years I hadn't drawn in a long time. Today I came back after buying a sketch book last night and rewatched the video- start to finish. I'm sitting in the break room at work almost in tears because the ending of this video was everything I needed to hear. Thank you, Butch.

butch is so pure and positive and happy and silly he needs to be protected

Thank you, Butch. Have you every done realistic drawings? I don't have a problem drawing cartoon/animated hands, except I keep adding too much detail to make them look more real... but my real issue is make hands and faces look real. I know it's all in the shading, but I never know where to start with those.

Yes, i was looking for this!

I love your art style. It's like, "I'm just going to draw eight connected lines and oh, look! It's a hand!"

Butch Hartman giving a life lesson is a blessing

Amazing video! btw thank you for creating Danny Phantom :D

As always, I love your sense of humor! You're great at teaching and entertaining at the same time!

Am I dreaming? One of my favorite cartoonists is right now my art teacher teaching me about the thing I struggle most with. Thanks butch (can I call you butch?)

9:40 Oh Butch this is why you are a childhood hero for many. You care so goddamn much.

Hands use to be the hardest thing to keep constantly the same for me, always looked very "pointy".

Butch Hartman:I am not rich Butch Hartman's net worth: 50 million dollars

"Not gonna show you the middle finger the way most people would" When Butch Hartman subtly roasts you.

That speech at the end was really something. Thanks Butch!

Like if you want butch to bring the ghost boy back on the network!

Dang you got some good editors

That is the simplest and quickest way to draw hands. So cool. This whole time, I've been drawing circles and sausages for fingers.

I literally had to slow down and rewind and pause a couple of times. You move so fast and effortless. Thanks for the demonstrations. This really helped me.

Can you please start a full on how to draw series, that would be amazing.

Can we get some legs with those hands? Lol

Im an adult. I'm 24. Art is my eventual career. Yet i stopped by just becuase i love hearing any wisdom from Butch Hartman, even if this was just a simple (but very useful for starting out, seriously shape building can be huge) tutorial video, and you know what? I didn't walk away with anything other than just enjoying the video by itself until the end. Omg. I got emotional. He said stuff at the end there that i needed to hear even after years of working on my art. 9:25 onward messed me up in a good way.

I was blown away by that message at the end, almost made me cry. Was not expecting that after a hand drawing tutorial

Hey Butch I have a video suggestion, maybe you could do an opening your fans messages like on Instagram??

nice vid Butch! pull off a Gendy and go ghost again!

this got deep very quickly. my childhood hero just gave me the most inspiring message I've ever heard. I was on the verge of tears for a minute there.

That speech at the end was something I totally needed to hear right now, it really lifts your spirits.

The editing was great this video

Great tutorial, I really gotta..._HAND_ it to you.

First time I've cried during a drawing tutorial. :( Your show Danny Phantom made me get out there and learn how to draw. If it wasn't for you I would've never continued drawing because I could barely draw a stick figure! Thank you for being a true inspiration to me and making my childhood/teen years much more tolerable with FOP and, more importantly, DP. :)

As a kid trying to get out of New York and get to California to be a cartoonist this truly inspired me thank you Butch.

.... i love his advise he gave me cofidence in my art

the ending though :')

You have done what my high school art teacher never could. I can now draw something resembling a hand. Great tutorial! And thanks for all of your amazing works throughout the years!

Mr.Hartman, thank you so much for this. I am an aspiring animator and a digital artist. And hands are always the hardest for me to draw. I have a very cartoony art style very similar and inspired by your work. This is going to help a lot and I feel I can finally improve with my artwork with these tips. Thank you!

you should open fan messages on social media for a vid

That editing thou

Dude the last minutes almost made me cry. You are a great artist and a great person. Thanks for hours of entertaiment back in my childhood, and thanks for the hours of entertaiment you are giving me right now. Once again, you are a great person. I really enjoy watching your videos and your cartoons.

Gosh, the end was so sweet.

Thank you for this Butch, I have a hard time drawing hands.

I feel so educated now ❤️ thanks butch! 😂

Inspiring words from Butch Hartman. This was really cool to see.

I know logistically you seeing this is improbable, but the last segment of this video touched me. And I thank you for that.

Don't make me cry 😢

I loved this type of video. what program do you use for video editing?

"I'm not gonna show you the middle finger the way most people would." I'm never unsubscribing.

omg the ending, I'm crying! It was so inspirational!

notif squad where you at

can you show us how to draw hair please?

Whenever I have to draw hands, I always seem to use your art style. Something about the blocky angular style is very aesthetically pleasing to me

A series of "how to draw ____" from a cartoonist legend would be a literal dream come true.

cool

How u draw a full body

Adding details is always my favorite part of drawing. Im always looking for new ways to get down the basic shapes of things so I can start detailing it up.

I actually already do the "watch your own hand" technique, it has helped me to improve a lot my drawings hands, nice to see I'm going in the right direction, thanks for all the inspiration

How do I draw legs though?

I like the editing, very iDubbbz

The joy of drawing with Butch Ross, or Bob Hartman. Really cool. Loved it.

At the end when you were talking about effluence that actually reminded me of a time my friend was looking at one of my drawings and I remembered him saying "your style kinda reminds me of fairly odd parents" and that made me smile because for as long as I can remember I would rush home from school turn on the tv and watch that show. So what I guess I'm saying is thank you for drawing and making your wonderful shows!

PAY attention kids, this is a $1800 lesson for free!

Bring Back Danny Phantom!

Butch. Your speech at the end of the video actually made me cry 😭😢😅

I wanna see more videos like these - this was great! ... Awww the inspirational speech at the end! I actually teared up and felt motivated.

Butch can you make a video where you draw horror movies as kid cartoons

First also butch will you ever bring Danny back for at least one more episode to see where he goes when he becomes an adult

Butch Hartman you are everyone's art dad, and I love you for it!
