5.2.1. What an excellent way to begin hand drawing, going around ones own just as we used to do when we were young. However not being young I got a bit too engrossed in veins etc.
I enjoyed doing the next four as well. All done with ordinary B sketching pencil
I think I am out of practice at loading pictures, they are going all over the place today.
5.2.3
For my design I used Markel oil sticks over a cut out of my hand. It was very noticeable that the Professional oil sticks (brown) are softer than the Student ones (green). The next day I gave it a wash over with ochre gouache. I intended to use water colour, but couldn't lay my hands on them - again.
5.2.4
I know my eyes are deep set, but I am not sure that I have depicted this well enough in my drawings.
