Whew, I am galloping along trying to catch up with my Everyday in May sketching challenges. I still have six more to go in order to catch up. Do you think I will make it? We’ll see!
I found this to be the hardest challenge yet–draw your hand. For some reason I find hands extraordinarily difficult, as hard or harder than faces. Obviously I need more practice with them.




This blog is about my journey as a botanical artist--what I am learning, what inspires me and what I am currently drawing or painting. My desire is to continually hone my skills to better express my wonder and gratitude for the beauty of the creation around me in the Pacific Northwest (USA).
Nice sketch Janene…I find hands and feet hard (or have a mental block so I don’t try)
Well done with catching up,you’ll be ahead of us all at this great galloping speed!
Great sketch. I like how you did just part of the person on the right. That fits the page nicely with the hand and writing.
You’re almost there, and even tho hands are really hard to do, you did a fantastic job with this! Well done!!! nancy
Thanks! Notice that I used pencil for this one…and eraser too…lots of eraser!
Yay for pencil sketch! =) I think you did an amazing job with the hand, and hit the marks on those EDM challenges
