Hand 76

Continuing on with my black pen to sketch out hands. I still have a harder time with pen (pencil feels more free and less rigid). But I'm challenging myself to do the harder thing (this will hopefully pay off later). I like the sketchy and bold look of this hand. It's interesting drawing on tan paper, it feels more organic and I've read where it gives you an immediate mid tone background (where white paper you need to build up the midtone). Drawing most days now...will try and keep that up.

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!

Hand 64

Here is my hand 64!  This was a difficult drawing probably because of the perspective and multiple fine lines in hand. But I'm thankful I was able to find time to draw this today. Happy Presidents' Day and hoping you find some time today for friends/family/alone time...

Hand 65

Here is my hand 65, just can't believe I've not had the time to draw for so long. Last year was very difficult personally, sure hope I will finish this #100DaysOfHands before the end of 2020. Made myself a promise I'll finish what I started! I drew this hand in colored pencil—Having not drawn for so long don't think it's that bad.  I feel the shadows really help round out the hand. And the layered colors really worked well together helping the pencil drawing look somewhat like a painting. The purple fingernails make for a rich color contrast with the warm hand tones!
