A First Hand Account

This is my first hand.

My first real attempt at drawing a hand. @emilydabbles explained and demonstrated how in her Skillshare course “Drawing Daily in 2020- January” an Online Skillshare Class by Emily Patriquin.

Here’s the strategy and my first sketch– notice the shapes of the wrist, palm, fingers/thumb. That’s how to get the parts drawn closer to reality. I am so pleased at this imperfect yet satisfying result that I even signed it.

All work/sketch is completed in ProCreate. I added color and the old paper background, once I realized it worked!

Thank you Emily!
