Hand Study
This is just a little hand study I did for a class as part of a drawing suite. It is basically a series of drawings that have something to do with one another. This first drawing is done with Conte Crayons which is basically charcoal and graphite mixed with wax. These are all my left hands except for one hand in one of the pieces is actually my right hand. These were all completed on watercolor paper that was approximately 18"x24".
This second set of hands are all pencils and inks. I had originally wanted to do watercolors on top, but 1. I ran out of time and 2. I am not the best "watercolorer" in the world, but I do love my inks and pencils. It is much more precise and not a lot of washing with colors. There are subtle ink washes in here with a few different layers and the overall feel was that it was a large page from a sketchbook. This is the one of the three that houses my right hand drawn with my right hand. How in the...?
By far the most fun-looking of the three, but this one was the hardest to work on for me. It seems that drawing everyday things like hands with odd colors is quite the task. I'm not used to seeing them in greens and oranges, so when I tried to draw them with those colors is never quite felt right. This was a fun one to do however, just a little tougher because of the colors. These are all just colored pencils...no regular pencil here. The blue pencil in the ink drawing was actually a blue drafting mech pencil whereas this blue here is all colored pencil.
