Realistic Hand Holding Pencil

This was actually pretty simple. I made a hand model to use in other renders and threw a texture on it and it looked great! Sadly it isn’t texture very well, I just textured the back of the hand. If anyone could link me to a tutorial on how to texture the full hand that would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hand material is a glossy/diffuse mix with a fresnel node. Same for all the materials on the pencil except the wood.

The hand is rigged but stupid me, I applied the sub surf and now I can’t go back and do the texturing easily without recovering auto save and having to re-sculpt it and everything.


Very nice! Quite realistic.

nice, but the shader needs improvement! the texture is also quite distorted in some places
but nice work

@Shadow, Thanks!!!

@elbriga, Yeah it does, there is no subsurf scattering or anything like that just diffuse and glossy. Where are you noticing the distortion? It is distorted a bit but, I didn’t think it looks too bad. The hand is a bit chubbier than I wanted but that’s alright.

I’m currently working on a good rig and then I want to do some art with the hands a grey diffuse material and then a full color realistic object such as an apple as a focal point.

well, the index’s bone looks curved to me
of course it doesn’t look too bad at all, it looks great, but you’re never too close to perfect right? :wink:

Oh I see what you mean! Thanks for pointing that out!
