Hand 8 Drawing

Veterans Day • 11-11-15


A handshake seems a small gesture of appreciation to those who sacrifice their own lives to serve our country every day, but here is my small gesture of appreciation on this Veterans Day 2015.  I hope to have the opportunity to shake one of your hands soon but until then I give you this heartfelt handshake, thank you...

Day 4 Hand Drawing

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 :)
