The Hand

One day, 11 years ago, I got a big envelope from our church. I noticed that the paper the envelope was veerry niiiice like drawing paper…So yeah.

The idea for this came about when I wanted to see if I could do it (my right hand drawing its own self-portrait). Turns out it actually wasn’t as hard as I thought (and I normally hate drawing hands). :O I should probably try again sometime soon to see if I still have it in me.

A series of random, unrelated sketches I did. This was during the start of the semester I took beginning drawing in college. The day before, we (the beginning class) were doing still life drawings in graphite (pencil) and the more advanced students used pen. I used pen in these sketches in my free time just to try it out. I noticed I tend to be more confident with drawing than if I were to use pencil. O.o
