Detail of a Archimedes, Hand and Gear - Sunday Sketches

I have not burnt out my desire to draw hands yet.  Here is a detail of one I finished this past week.  I used charcoal, pencil, white charcoal, and blended white and sanguine conte to create layers of greys, whites, soft pinks and blues in this drawing.

Very cool close up and angle on this one.
I seriously need to make some attempts at focusing on the different parts of the body I struggle with sketching. Hands and mouths are my toughest areas. You're so inspiring. :)

Thank you for joining in SS each week. Hugs

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
