hands

I am very interested in doing a series on hands as they express love and supplication to our Lord.

I am very interested in doing a series on hands as they express love and supplication to our Lord. This first drawing is holding Christ close to my heart. The perspective is me looking down at my hands. This was much more challenging than I thought it would be. I found myself feeling almost turned around as I was drawing. For the left hand, I finally turned my sketch pad upside-down.

This first movement pulls me in as I move slightly away from hold Christ to me for my purpose and turning my thoughts to His purpose.

Though this second movement shows progress towards Christ’s purpose, I am not satisfied with the result of the drawing. This is a piece that I will need to re-work to fix proportions and the curvature of my fingers.
