Hi!
Here’s a drawing from my night shift Friday! It is of my thumb. Not to worry, it is much smaller in reality.
I wrote a blog entry a while back about hands. If you don’t know what to draw, draw your hand. It’s always there with you, and it has a lot of potential as a drawing model. Now, if you’re growing tired of drawing your hands – draw your thumb! (We’ll call it a rule of thumb, funny, yes?)
If you’d like to read that other blog entry, please do head over there:

I used to sketch my hands when I had no other subject to draw……now if I did that, it would just be a reminder of how old I’ve become…..my hands have aged SO much! LOL

Have you kept doing it regularly? I can’t help imagining looking back at my own drawings years from now and see the evolution.. Of the linework AND the subject, lol 😉 Hands can really tell many stories.
Looking back as a artist (or a writer!) tells quite a tale. It’s good to hang onto your older work……….reminds you of how far you’ve come!
Very good.
Thank you!
