“Unraveling”: My project for course: Illustration of Hands with Expressive Watercolors

I’ve always wanted to learn how to properly illustrate 3D-looking hands, and I’m happy I took this class.

Here are the two hands I drew as class projects.

The first one, I followed the instructions carefully. Then I added a dark background because I just bought a new tube of Daniel Smith :)

The second, with more confidence, I painted a composition on the first page of my new sketchbook. I painted the skin tone a bit darker, added dark, animated-like, pencil lines, painted the starry background, and added white lines around the hands.

Thank you for a wonderful course :)
