I decided I wanted to continue with drawing more contemporary subjects, so I decided on doing a bridal sort of theme for my contact page in my portfolio. I have been dying to draw a pillbox hat and I'll have plenty of white space to work with for my type placement. I also love creating movement in my pieces, even if the subject matter is very simple. Simple was probably better in this case because I am putting my contact information with this image. Guess who needs to start keeping a sketchbook of hands? I do! I'm aware there are anatomical issues in this drawing because I'm afraid I have developed a bad case of senioritis and now procrastinate like nobody's business. However, my teacher has brought up a valid point, concerning my handling of hands. I can draw a whimsical semi realistic, yet stylized face, with ease, but that doesn't reflect in how I draw hands. My hands end up looking clunky because I get too caught up in the details and are either A. too stiff in comparison to everything else or B. I draw them too big and have to try to readjust the size in photoshop. Both things happened in this sketch, so I need to do some tweaking. Maybe I'll look at some Mucha hands and Marguerite Sauvage hands for inspiration on what makes a graceful hand.
