Introduction: 3D Hand
These instructions are to create a 3D hand
Step 1: Equipment
You will need:
- A piece of paper- big enough to fit your hand
- Pencil and eraser
- Felt tip markers- any colours
Step 2: Starting
Start by placing your hand on the piece of paper and draw round your hand using a pencil
Step 3: Process
Start by drawing lines on the outside of the hand
-I used a ruler to draw the lines, but you can free hand the lines
-I personally like to use a ruler because it gives it a clean look to the picture
For extra help follow the pictures for direction.
I didn't erase the pencil it helped with the shadowing to give the 3D depth.
Step 4: Finish
You can create this using different colours.
I like to use bright colours that match, the colours I used were random to fill it in space.
Step 5: Extra- Freehand Pictures
This is my freehand try of this 3D hand
It looks a bit uneven but still looks ok.
In this one I erased the pencil to see if there was any difference, there was no difference but made it harder to see where the felt tip should go because I erased the pencil too soon

I've done this before in black & white, but it looks fabulous in color. I love this trick, thank you for sharing it!
One suggestion I would make for your Instructable: maybe include info on how you got the lines so straight. Did you use a ruler, or do you just have a very steady hand? Also, did you erase the pencil marks or just color over them?
