Weekly Mind Sketch

Here's day 3 hand drawing. This is the same hand as yesterday but a different hand pose. Even though it's the same hand it looks really different from the previous hand.  The thumb looks larger and the palm smaller. I think it will be fun to see the differences in drawings as I continue on with hands!

Day 2 of my #100DayProject of drawing hands for 100 days... done! It is interesting to compare the angle of this hand to the angle of the previous post. This hand is stretched out and pointing downward while my hand on the previous post was cupped and pointing upward. This hand is foreshortened so the palm looks really large while the fingers look smaller. It made for an interesting drawing at this odd angle! Until tomorrow...

Here's another drawing of my hand I finally had the courage to draw today. I think hands are deceivingly difficult to draw and I never feel satisfied with the end result. I want to keep on correcting shadows and lines and angles but then I just have to stop! I took on another angle of my hand (the palm side). This was a different feel than drawing the outside of my hand. The skin is thicker and more rounded than the outside of the hand.  After finishing this hand I think I will challenge myself to #100DayProject of drawing a hand (not always my own hand but all different hands). This may happen once a day or if I a miss day or two I'll just keep going until 100 days are complete. I may even paint hands sometimes.  O.K. stay tuned...99 days more towards self-improvement!
