Hand 50 Drawing


Well I've made it to the half-way mark, hand 50 of #100DaysOfHands!  I feel I have learned to see the curves and shadows of hands a little better by now.  I am still using a sketchy line style rather than shading - here I've used black pen.

I feel I've learned to use line more expressively and like how you can scratch dark lines to form shaded areas.  Line drawing is very expressive and bold.

Hope to have another drawing tomorrow!

  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!

Puppy in a Blanket

This week I decided to draw my brother-in-law's puppy. This was the day they picked him up all wrapped in a blue blanket - SO cute!  He's a poodle / maltese mix and has has a nice temperament. I really have been wanting a dog for a long time but it just hasn't been the right time in my life for that.  I will look for a hypo-allergenic breed when the time is right. 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
