Right, it feels like ages since I last posted. It has been a bit hands-on recently, as I've been immersed in the joy and calm of moving house. Now that's out of the way, and I'm more settled in my new studio, I can get back to making scribbles. In honour of that endeavour, here are two foreshortened hand studies, both charcoal on newsprint.

Welcome back! Your sketches are great, I can tell you have a solid understanding of the construction of the hand. I feel like your shading does a bit of disservice to your ability in some areas - almost wish you had stopped at this stage of this drawing; it's gorgeous! The shading on the index finger makes it look like it's all knuckle. Maybe scaling back on the texture in the areas around the knuckles would help.

I have to accept that I have been struggling with shading hand and dealing with details on the hand.

Not quite… I did eyeball it, so still have to develop that skill a lot more. The direction of the index finger is not right and the other fingers are longer than on the photo, but the problem is more that there’s no energy in the gesture.
But still, here’s my practice for today. Charcoal pencil, drawing is 20cm/20cm.

This one is super hard because the foreshortening of the pointer finger makes it look funny, like it is broken. Good try. I would get a proportional divider and try again.
