Hand 19 Drawing


I'm using the same hand from 2 posts ago with the simple outline drawing style in pen (this is without sketching it in pencil first) so I am not able to erase anything.  Not erasing my mistakes is a good way to hone in on my weaknesses and I notice I tend to stay very focused as I'm drawing in pen. Drawing in this outline style, I am realizing how very expressive lines are. If I make the line thick it feels confident and loud. If I draw a line thin and wispy it feels soft and sort of unfinished.  I may do another pastel hand tomorrow, we'll see...

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!
