Morning Sketches
Drawing Hands
Drawing hands and feet have never been easy for me. They really test me as an artist. I can draw a pretty decent portrait of someone then get to the hands and suddenly I start drawing like I am in the 5th grade again. Today I was super focused and that why they turned not half bad. but let me tell you, they usually turn out looking like a pair of squids. Not trying to beat myself up about it, however, I recognize that it is something I need to work on.
So my goal is for this Easter weekend I'm going to sketch 5 hands a day. So when I am done I will have 15 hand stretches. I will tell myself it doesn't matter if they are great or even terrible its just important I do them and get the practice.
Well 3 down and 12 to go.
Thanks for ready,

Hands and feet are hard for everyone, I guess. Despite what you say about your "5th grade" results, I think that you did a pretty good job. The top and the bottom hands in particular reminds me of Egon Schiele style: maybe not anatomically perfect but extremely expressive. I should force myself drawing hands and feet like you do! Good job!!
