Hands - who's with me?

[snoball]

Just for fun let's all draw our hand. Hands are notoriously difficult so don't expect perfection. If you are right-handed, draw your left hand (any position), and if you are a lefty, draw your right hand. It can be any size, on any paper. Finish it to whatever degree you wish. Post it here.

I can usually draw hands pretty well, if I can be bothered

 

[snoball]

So be bothered.

Just for you a very quick sketch holding a mechanical pencil. I might need a bit more practice
Also, thumb is accurate (abnormal thumbs) when I resize image pic isn't so good. That's my excuse anyway

OK, since I started the thread, I'll get one posted. This one is out of proportion and looks dirty. I just did it very quickly, about 20 minutes. I'll try to do a better one when I have more time. Like I said, hands are difficult! Very good hand Ian.

Fun assignment! My hand is an example of what do if

you can’t draw hands ....my collaborator on this assignment is my grandson who is 8....

So far, everyone's hands are great. I don't know when I'll have time, but I will do it.

 

[snoball]

Great Arty! The more the merrier! And the more fun!

Great job Maybeanartist and snoball. Both very tricky poses! Very creative PSA.

Took me a while to find a sharp pencil. Raided son's pencil case!

 

[Maybenartist]

These are great. I love the creative cutouts, PSA!
I like them all, but we ain't holding hands!

 

[snoball]

Great Bizzi. Keep em coming, even if you've already posted one. I plan to try to do a better one later.
Here's one I did some time ago but I took a picture and worked from that. It is hard to draw your right hand when you're using it.

Wow that is indeed tricky and excellent snoball. Thanks for the comments!

Not so tricky if working from a photo. Working from life, my hand keeps changing positions.

My first thought was to post MC Esher's Drawing hands. But that would be too clever by half! My second thought was of a very short poem by Robinson Jeffers:

Hands.

Fallen in between the tendons and bones.
It looks like a dead hand. Poor hand, a little longer, write, and see what comes forth from a dead hand.

The line breaks might be off. There is another poem about the early hand cave paintings.

Note there was no consideration of drawing my own hand. I would rather hold it to the flame while you sketch it!
So dramatic.

Just be that way Iain, and nobody will like you when you grow up!

 

[Iain]

Who said I would ever grow up!

Growing up is optional, growing older is mandatory.

I have no intentions of going anywhere soon. I have only just got here!
