Artist's Comments

One of the things I find frustrating as an artist is trying to draw my right hand. I can't just drop my pencil, pose my hand, memorize how it looked, draw it, drop the pencil again, ETC. ETC. ETC! It's SO annoying! So I dragged my sister downstairs and told her that she was going to be a hand modal, as I forced her to hold her hand in the air for an extended period of time (which, I'll have you know, wasn't that long, though I'm sure she'll tell you it took forever). Some of the fingertips got a bit cut off while I was collaging them together, but I'm seriously lacking in the computer skills. Anything beyond selecting a few pictures in Picasa and clicking "collage", and I'm lost for hours.

UPDATE - Thank you so much to everyone who has posted such nice compliments! I posted this because it was what I, as an artist, wanted, and apparently so do you! I have limited time (as seen by my severe lack of updates) but if there is something simple that would be helpful, let me know! I'll see what I can do....

I just finished a portrait/caricature of one of my friends, and I had to come back here and say thanks because these references were a HUGE help! I searched all over dA for a decent reference, and it seems that the rule in making stock images of hands is to come up with the oddest and most unnatural positions one can. LOL
So, a big thanks to you, and if you want to see the finished piece it's here. :)

I am a manipulator, of photos and drawings. Maybe you have something you want colored or my manipulation skills applied to? If so come and check out my galery! I am always up for a challenge.
