Of Hands and Alligators!

In the past, I've done some drawings of my hand. Without a doubt, the hand is one of the most difficult body parts to draw due to the seemingly limitless movements it can make. One helpful tip my father told me is that the thumb is a big part of the hand - for some odd reason, when I drew  hands in the past, they were distorted since I usually drew the thumb smaller than it was supposed to be. The thumb can be useful part to measure and compare the rest of one's fingers. Please let me know if you can see any distortions in my drawings! I'd love to know what I did wrong so I can keep in mind what to fix the next time I draw hands in the future!

 

 


















Lastly, the following are my roughs for the Alligator project for Illustration class. I drew roughs for the following magazines: Time, Sports Illustrated and Omni. This was a really fun project; for the first time in a long time, I actually used Gouache paints for the final products! I never really was a fan of them before, but for some reason, I had fun using them for this project! It probably was due to experience from the previous Illustration class that I took two semesters ago. Learned the ups and downs of it! Alligators are fun to draw in terms of form and texture. Lastly, it was quite challenging to not use props! But that's what made the project so great and challenging. Mind stimulating. Anyways, here ya go!
