Hands





There's a temptation to ask people to hold that pose until I finish drawing, but then the whole purpose of trying hands was to work quickly and not worry about a finished piece.  Hands, no matter how often I draw them, are a real stretch for me. And try as I might, I can't recall how they looked once the pose has changed.

Vincent Van Gogh's "hands" are a marvel.  They are humble, strong, and so very, very human.  This site has a number of his drawings.  Enjoy!
