Study group - hands 3

The Love Life Drawing study group hands exercises continue into section 3, where we’re polishing up our fingers. The focus here was on taking the spacial aspect of the knuckles and using that to set the spacing on the fingers. I went ahead and shaded them because I’ve been impressed with the drawings done by some of the other students.

I think these are pretty solid. I realized near the end I should have taken last month’s edges and lines lesson to work on my line confidence skills, which are still pretty low. I still do a bunch of scrubby little lines looking for something “right” and then erasing/blending away the evidence. You can see it in the shagginess of the outside edges of these hands. I tried to do better on the last one, and it’s a touch improved, but I’ll bet I need months of focus on that specific skill before I’ll correct that bad habit.
