This is one of drawings from a series I did of my own hands. Initially the idea seemed simple. I just draw my hands in different poses. But, then, they have to look interesting, not only the pose the hands are in, but also the lighting and composition. There was a surprisingly smaller percentage of images that made the cut.
I work on toned / coloured paper because it makes it far easier to create a relief effect, build the volume of the forms, or in modern computer parlance, more 3D.
This work is in a private collection in Germany.
34 x 24cm, pastel pencils on paper.
