Draw it step by step

Six steps to hands

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Draw the palm

Draw a big cup shape for the palm — open along the top.

2

Add four fingers

Four fingers going up from the top, like rounded towers. The middle one is tallest.

3

Add the thumb

A thumb poking out on the left side.

4

Add the wrist

A little wrist and sleeve under the palm.

5

Palm creases

Two soft lines across the palm, where it folds.

6

Nails and a ring

A small nail on each fingertip, and a shiny ring. Now this hand is yours.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper hand into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little thumb wiggle below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
