This is one of drawings from a series I did of my own hands. Initially the idea seemed simple. I just draw my hands in different poses. But, then, they have to look interesting, not only the pose the hands are in, but also the lighting and composition. There was a surprisingly smaller percentage of images that made the cut.
I work on toned / coloured paper because it makes it far easier to create a relief effect, build the volume of the forms, or in modern computer parlance, more 3D.
This work is in a private collection in Germany.
34 x 24cm, pastel pencils on paper.
hard-working hand!

Now that's something I always wished to do, but always failed miserably every time I've tried to do it... Drawing.
Impressive work, @leoplaw.

Practice is the key. I started years ago, drawing in class when I should have been paying attention to the lesson. The joke is, I was booted out of class for this with my pencil and paper, and so I thought, OK, this a punishment, great, I'll just continue drawing.
Thanks for following and the resteem @brumest! Following you back. =)

You need a good hand massage then! Thanks for following, more artwork is coming along soon. =)
Following back. I worked in the music industry for a while, touring with a number of acts. It is indeed a bumpy road, but one that can certainly provide some amazing experiences. I've witnessed the very genesis, to climbing all the way up. Keep up the good work.

Incredible, I love how many creatives there are on here... I hope you share the story at some point! (Perhaps even in visual form?)

Hands are tough! I painted a whole series of them to try to become more well-versed. They still are so challenging. Very well done. Definitely following.

I have read that even the likes of Da Vinci and Dürer practiced every day throughout their entire careers. There was an inspiring quote I read recently. Hard work will always beat talent, if talent does not work hard.
Following you back. =)
