More Hands

 It is a good idea to sketch hands and people from life.  It really helps your drawing skills.  I put "hand" as an item on the Scavenger Hunt list and also to draw your hand holding other items from the list.

I sketched in the Art Street sketchbook with a Micron 03.  I slopped a bit of coffee on the coffee sketch and it also shows on the reverse for the other sketch.  Oh well, it is a coffee sketch and it doesn't show much here.



For Scavenger Hunt from life number 45.

Number 1, hand and Number 2 glass - my double layer coffee cup (It has a graceful shape, not crooked!)
Number 3, metal - a little brass box with a ceramic top with the challenge in my hand.

Jo what a great idea to sketch hands. They are not easy for me to do but like everything the more we practice the better we become. Looks like you have done quite a bit of practicing. Yours look excellent. Have a great week. Hugs!

Good to see you sketched some of the items in your hand. Maybe I'll get to that...

Thanks, Joan. Hope you get your hands in too.
