Weekly Mind Sketch

Here is a fresh new drawing of 3 hands! I like this for the different brown and beige tones throughtout (and how the texture of the paper shows through the colors). Honestly it was really hard to draw three hands clasping eachother, it got complicated when I started drawing each hand wrapping with the other, I kind of lost which finger belonged to which hand! But I liked the challenge of this group of hands. I'm working towards my 100th hand drawing, I'll keep posting now more regularly!

Here is another hand I did in colored pencil which I love. I was going for a rough, sketchy feel to this. I like the drawing on tan colored paper, it gives it more of a raw and earthy feel. I also liked the dark olive green nails, they add to the bold and organic mood of this drawing.

I've been MIA with my hand drawings for awhile, but I won't give up until I've reached my 100th! I am working with Micron pens (black/brown/green) which is challenging. I am trying to keep it sketchy, scratchy and more energetic. This is a good start for me and I hope to have another hand soon!

I am happy to finally do a digital hand! I'm not super confident yet with digital drawing, yet find it pretty fascinating with all the tools you can use, and various brushes and watercolor touches you can play with. I used Procreate on the iPad to create this hand that is holding a coffee cup. It looks eerie with just the hand and no figure behind the cup. I think the overall look is creative and edgy, with bold colors and choppy lines. Look forward to practicing more with digital drawing and hopefully improve on my skills.

I am back to drawing!  Took a long hiatus from it but am ready to get back into it. Here is a quick sketch (didn't want to spend long on this so that the drawing has a fresh approach to it). It's drawn with a brown Micron pen and the color is cool and feels natural. I do like how I captured some of the musculature areas of the hand. I'm determined to finish my goal of #100 hands, keep you posted soon!

I'm getting closer to my #100DaysOfHands! Only 33 to go. It will be so great to finish what I started, and I don't want to let myself down and not finish. So I drew my own hand today using a thin black Micron pen, working on shadows and expressive lines. I am more comfortable in pencil, but have been challenging myself to use pen—it makes me work harder because you can't erase! I like the overall "chunky" feeling the drawing has, and how I can create curves and form with just thin scratchy lines. I look forward to drawing my next hand, and not taking such a long break this time!
