Hand Drawing Number Twenty

Hand drawing number TwentyMy left hand round the neck of my little teardrop fiddle.

This is the last of the hand drawings, for the current series anyway. Looking back over thetwenty drawings, I can see a progression. The lines are better in this last batch,and the forms are better observed. The first of these hands was drawn on January the 12th, it’staken me over four months to finish the series, or about a hand a week. That doesn’t seem sogreat to me.

Overall I’m happy though, and I’ve enjoyed this series. I think another series of hands whenI’m using tone again wouldn’t go amiss.
