Hand 95

Image
Wow, I’ve reached hand #95! It feels like ages since I started, and I’m really excited to wrap up the 100th hand soon. I’ve been working on this project for over a decade, and it’s been a huge lesson in staying patient, kind to myself, and persistent, even when I didn’t draw for months. Life can be unpredictable, with ups and downs that might make you want to give up, but sticking with it through tough times can make you stronger and more resilient. This art project feels like a reflection of life itself. You can’t control where life takes you, so you might as well push through it, even if it’s not easy. Anyway, I drew a hand holding a lime, and this was done with Micron pen with added color. I’m planning to start my next hand very soon!

Hand 94

Image
This hand was a bit of a challenge for me—the shadows felt quite harsh, and things started to get a bit too dark. But since you can’t erase pen, I just went with it. Overall, the drawing is darker and rougher than I’d hoped, but it’s still strong, expressive, and bold. I’ll try a new hand next time and see if I can improve my shading skills.

Hand 93

I sketched a new hand position today that I found quite interesting! It had the wrist angled to the right, and the fingers pushing together downward. I used Micron Pen and added a splash of green to make it pop. I’m excited about the #100th hand, which is just 7 away—wow! I’m eager to see what new hand position I’ll try next!

Hand 92

Image
I’m making steady progress, and I’ve reached 92! It’s getting so close to 100 hands that I’m really looking forward to the finish line. I did run into a few snags with this drawing, but I managed to work through them, and I’m happy with how some of it turned out. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m learning through trial and error with the Micron Pen, and it’s not the most forgiving tool since you can’t erase lines. But I’m still happy with how much I’ve improved my pen skills. I’ll be working on a new hand tomorrow with a fresh perspective!

Hand 91

Image
So here I am at the 91st hand—it feels like I’m getting so close to my 100th! This one was done with a Micron pen, and I focused on the form, shading, and muscles in the palm. Even after 91 hands, I still find them a challenge, especially with pen since you can’t erase, but I’m proud of myself for using pen to improve my skills. I’m already thinking about what I’ll want to work on next after I finish 100 hands. I’ll keep my eyes on my hands for now!

Hand 90

Image
Wow, I’ve reached 90 hands! It’s amazing that I’ve been drawing almost daily for about four weeks now. I took a long break from art because I just didn’t feel like it. But as I’ve been drawing more, I’m starting to feel it coming back. I did this hand as a challenge, knowing it would be tough, but that’s why I did it. I really liked the way the stacked fingers stood tall. I’m happy with most of it, but as always, pen is a challenge, and I can’t correct things once they’re on paper. Pen is fun though—it’s immediate and bold, while pencil is softer and you can layer and build more. Anyway, I’ll be doing another hand soon!

Hand 89

I’m getting so close! I’m almost at 90 hands, and then 100! I used a Micron pen with this hand, and I think it looks pretty good. I like how the fingers look huge in the front and then the wrist gets smaller in the back, which makes the forward-facing fingers stand out even more. I still have a bit of trouble shading with pen, but as I’ve mentioned before, tackling challenging projects makes for better results down the road. Fingers crossed for hand 90 tomorrow!
