Hand 45 Drawing


I am doing a #5daydraw challenge from Lynda.com and this was my day 1 drawing!  We were asked to do a white pencil or white pen drawing on black or dark paper. At first I wasn't sure this was going to turn out very exciting, but as I kept drawing, form started developing from the black paper underneath. And as the white got bolder the drawing started looking like an x-ray, and also looked more like white pastel rather than pencil.  I was very surprised how much depth & form white can give a drawing!  Now I am curious what other ways I can draw hands in interesting ways. We'll see what tomorrow brings!

  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!

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!

I am back to drawing!  Took a long hiatus from it but am ready to get back into it. Here is a quick sketch (didn't want to spend long on this so that the drawing has a fresh approach to it). It's drawn with a brown Micron pen and the color is cool and feels natural. I do like how I captured some of the musculature areas of the hand. I'm determined to finish my goal of #100 hands, keep you posted soon!
