A hand study with some colour and extra slapped on when my hand got too tired. And yeah, the model for this image was that bodypart of mine. The closest to a selfie I'm willing to get.
Last weekend I wisited a natural history museum, and they had this activity table where you could draw the other half of a spider, which I did, but I didn't take any pictures of that and left my creation there. But! That reminded me about how good it is to sometimes practice drawing straight from reference.
Doing this study, I thought that it really forces you to think your subject more in 3d when you draw from a live 3d reference instead of a still picture referene. I should practice that more... And, also, do more studies from reference in general. (It's always the shoulds.)
