Exploration Into Drawing

My Hand

This is my pre-instruction drawing of my hand. I was kind of happy with the way it turned out except that it is partially not proportional. I like the bottom part of the hand but not the two top fingers. The palm should have started further down underneath them, and then they should have been longer. I decided to do a simple sketch without shading.

I did this hand after instruction. I am much happier with the way this turned out. I think it looks extremely proportional, and i love the shading. I have drawn hands pretty well before but was particularly happy with the way the foreshortening worked out in this picture.

BEFORE and AFTER

Negative and Positive Spaces

Although this took FOREVER to complete, I ended up being pretty happy with the result. It was interesting playing around with the angles of the chair and the negative space. The parts shaded darker are the negative space behind the chair.
