Mechanical Hand

Well, sort of a mechanical hand.  I sketched my hand holding a mechanical pencil and a regular pencil.  I sketched in the BookFactory sketchbook at my desk.  I go for handy and easy.  I have sketched my hand many times for the Scavenger Hunts.  I have to remind myself sometimes that we have been doing the Hunts since 2006.  Yikes!!


For Scavenger Hunt from Life 91  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-91-nov-10-nov-18.6205/

Number 2 mechanical - a mechanical pencil and Number 3 non-mechanical, a regular drawing pencil with no eraser.

I'm about to finish the pastel I mentioned.  The problem is that after I stop for more than a day, I lose the enthusiasm.  Maybe I will wipe it off and do it over and see if I like it more.  I lost some of the distance with too intense color in the background. I am painting aspens.  I'm using a couple of photos and memory for the scene.

A do-over sounds like a good plan.  I will post all the photos when I finish and you can see my plan and results.

Nice sketch of the two pencils in hand. I like your "do over."
