Hand 7 Drawing


Here is day 7, one week of hands done!  This is the same hand again, really hard to draw the same subject matter each day, but I'm associating it with practicing scales on the piano...pianists often warm up their fingers every day doing scales before practicing their regular piano pieces in hopes of playing better pieces.  This theory seems to make sense with art too.  I sure hope so! I will be able to see if my theory works soon.

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've discovered a website called petfinder.com which has a huge listing of pets (not just dogs) for sale, and have heard good things about them.  For now I'll just have to be content with "drawing" puppies :( I decided to add a poll to my blog this week to get a consensus of how "green" readers have been.  Let me know how green you've been and we'll see how everyone's been doing in a few weeks. Our community has begun a huge new recycling campaign this year where we can leave out recycling AND composting each week.  So far I think it's been a huge decrease in ...

Day 4 Hand Drawing

Image
OK here is day 4...I'm feeling like I am officially getting deeper into this #100DayProject.  This is the same hand, but in color.  I think I'll continue on with this same hand for a little longer, I learn to see more and more details working on the same hand.  This looks like a male hand to me (which it is)...so that will work for now - until tomorrow :)
