Handy Man

Posted early, blahblahblah:

My second entry for the Practice Makes Perfect Art Jam. The subject this time is "The Three Hands of the Dead":


Yeah, I know there are four hands there--out of all my sketches I was happy with four, so I figured I'd throw in the extra one. I had so much fun with my Sasquatch post, that I basically used the same technique again--sketched in purple pencil (Col-Erase is my brand of choice, in case you were wondering), and outlined with a hot pink Prismacolor marker (yes, the color was actually called hot pink) and an ultra-fine black Sharpie.

As for the hands themselves, I think I did an okay, if bland job of it. Check out the other entries at Practice Makes Perfect.

ANYWAYS, these are pretty good. not great, but good. I'd like to see u do more life drawing.

I'm a little shocked. With a name like The Three Hands of the Dead I would expect you to do a sketch of an undead monkey with three arms. A bit disappointed in that respect. Otherwise, good stuff here.
