Day 2 Hand Drawing


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...

Hand 66

  And finally... here is my next hand drawing!  Been quite awhile, and 2020 has been quite the year. I can only say I'm glad I haven't given up on my goal of #100DaysOfHands. I liked the composition with the 2 hands holding the rose softly. I used Micron black pens to outline the hands/rose, then used colored pencils to finish it off. I think the lines have an expressive quality, and the soft colors add an extra layer of expressiveness to the drawing. Hope to have another drawing soon!

Hand 63

Here is my hand #63, another attempt at using a thin black drawing pen. I am still struggling with perspective and want to continue trying to get better at it!  I like the feeling though of the dark outlined areas, it helps give the hand more strength and emotion.  I will probably continue black ink again next time!

Day 5 Hand Drawing

Image
Well here is my day 5 hand, I went a new direction with watercolor :)  This is very different for me since I haven't done watercolor in probably over 5 years!  It was great to try it out again, even though I don't particularly love the medium.  I do like the free-flow feel it has, very clean and fresh. I started out doing the outline of the hand in pencil, so technically this started out as a hand drawing and became a small painting.  I like how this feels bold and almost statuesque if that makes any sense. We'll see where the hand goes tomorrow!
