Hello,

    So making the line sketch of my hand was kind of difficult. Using my hand as the subject matter was convenient, because it was right there, but it was more complex that I had thought. There were many crevices that I tried to capture with different shaded lines, but it did not turn out the way that I had hoped. I chose pencil, because I have used charcoal in the past and it tends to bleed into the rest of the drawing and I wanted to capture the lines in my hand with precision. It was interesting drawing with my non-dominant hand, because it was a challenge. The funny thing is it looks like it was done in an entire different style by a different artist. I think I would consider experimenting with my non-dominant hand in the future. I would like to see how I could grow with that portion of my skill set. Overall, although the end result was not as realistic as I would of liked, I put a lot of effort into it and I think it was a success for my personal use.

 Thank you,
