A free choice blog that isn't what inspires you this week....what is this mess?! I have been working on my breadth, and concentration pieces when I can. I'm going to start a third one within the next two days. Not to mention I'm no longer doing breadth, and I'm just sticking to do nothing, but hands for the rest of the semester, it'll be a crap next few months, but I'll manage somehow. My next hand is going to be a hand with lacerations. Hoping to do it in watercolor. Not sure if I wanna do pen, and ink with it though. I think it'll be more a a challenge if I did it without. I think my most trouble with the hand I am working on now is just proportions, and thumbs. I think quite a few of my pieces will be thumbless. Not to mention in awkward poses.
I did see something interesting yesterday though....a war veteran who decided to become a drag queen. He was missing 4 fingers total. 2 from each hand, and had a a brilliant black silk wrapping around his arm. Nails bright pink, with a star tattoo. I studied much of the hand as I could because I saw this brilliant performer, on t.v. It reminded me of a movie called soldier's girl. Now thinking about this movie, the musculature of the hand that the performer suggested something for me to draw, to understand, and find the story behind it.
I look at hands, and study every aspect I can on the skin. The wrinkles, scars, tears, cuts, bruises, and whatever I can find in a hand. I find what can on every hand I look at. I find what I know about to hand, then look for the more challenging stuff. Like a oddly shaped nails, broken bones, or a missing chunk of skin.

You have poor concentration according to Ms. Morris. LOL i can't wait to see your pieces
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see the pice with lacerations
ReplyDeletei love hands, i think it will be so cool to see what you come up with. i think this concentration could seem somewhat limited, but there are so so so many ideas that could be used. i don't think it is limited at all! good luck:)
