Hands 2

Drawing the hand holding an object was a surprising challenge in comparison to drawing just the hand. Before, I could focus on the details of the hand itself. This time, I not only had to focus on the details of the hand, but the relationship between the hand and the object (in this case a pencil).

I also attempted to show the hand in space by shading the area underneath the hand and drawing my sleeve. Adding these details made the sketch significantly more interesting and dynamic.

The thumb and index finger portions look a little washed out, but the severe lighting didn't really allow for much shading. The middle finger shows some relationship with the pencil at the tip. As stated before, showing the hand holding an object was a bit of a challenge, but I am happy with how this particular portion of the sketch came out.

Overall, the sketch came out pretty well. It is a little light and could have used more shading, but the shapes came out nicely.
