Under any circumstance, hands are challenging to draw, and from a distance, they’re
nearly impossible. When I’m sketching people, I usually focus on the face and
body posture, but when I get to the hands, I dismiss them with a scribble.
I took the bus downtown twice during the past week, giving
me lots of time to practice sketching fellow commuters. On these three people
in particular, I had good views of their iPhone-engaged hands. (I did also draw
their faces and some parts of their bodies that the hands were attached to, and
you may see them eventually, but I wanted to focus on their hands in this post.)
The strangest view was the pair of hands at right – that scrolling left thumb.
We were given the rare gift of the opposable thumb, and this is what we choose
to do with it!

Good job on the hands, Tina!
ReplyDeleteDitto what Joan said. Two thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteHands don't get much attention when I'm quick-sketching people either, Tina. In a minute or so I can barely get the basic head/body proportions right :-)
