Hi @Liandro @Stan Prokopenko I don't know what is wrong with me, but when I hear that there is something that people find hard, I see it as a challenge... So I had a go at a hand - I tried to do a block-in that showed all the planes and then started the shading - what I did find was that I felt the need to rub out my block-in lines in order to make sense of the shading, so that felt a bit weird - I guess I should be making better use of it. I did this almost entirely with a HB pencil, with some 3H for the half-tones. I think it would be better had I used a wider range of pencils?? I also have to admit that I haven't yet got beyond finger bones in the anatomy course, so I probably should have waited a bit - anyway, I am pretty pleased with this but I am sure there is still a lot to learn. Feedback welcome. Thanks Jo.
