Yeah, I saw the other drawings of hands on your page and unless you are ambidextrous, you were probably drawing from books that have multiple sketches of hand examples in them. That's why I faved works that I judged to be from only your mind. If you are right-handed, most of your drawings will be of your left hand and vice versa because it's hard to get the pose of hands that was there without being attached to the hand or having someone sit close to you with it outstretched. It's perfectly fine to use those books for learning how to draw anatomy. My teachers used to make me copy drawings by Michelangelo and Leonardo and other Masters works--it really teaches you a lot. Keep up the good work and happy drawing to you!

That's right. Mostly from photos, but from books too.
But I think now I'll try drawing my left hand. If I can... ^^

It's always good practice. You might find that the left hand has a better quality line than your right hand.

Really? I didn't know something like this is possible... To see the difference, I mean. Interesting...

Yeah, my left hand has a better line quality (thickness and thin-ness of line and the way the line is pulled with the utensil) It's just a nicer more refreshing line than the always controlled right hand. Although, I may fall under the category of ambidextrous, because My line work is pretty strong for an opposite hand. I have had a lot of teachers make me draw with the other hand as an exercise in class and they always seem to remark that I'm a better overall drawer with my left hand...I don't know, they were supposed to be the experts and that's what they told me. I think my lines look more free with my left hand.

Wow, that's right! Awesome!

It gets easier to use with lots of practice. Sometimes, I play the draw Something game with only my left hand--it's so funny because nobody knows! You should play it and see how it helps you to get fast--it will run out of time to make you hurry if you get too detailed, but it's an awesome game to play to get fast at drawing!

Oh, that's a good idea

But that is a way to learn. My teachers made us go through so much paper just drawing gestural images from life and models. You will learn how to draw better by continuously drawing it quicker and quicker over and over again. It's a good drawing exercise for those who want to learn. Look up people drawing gesture figures and see how fast they draw them. The idea behind it is to capture the pose of what ever they are drawing in as few lines as possible and still make it look like the action of the figure or thing they are drawing. These drawings typically last only 1 minute to as many as five or ten minutes at the maximum. They are not meant to be stunning images, just images you learn how to draw by doing them. It will teach you a lot about how to draw quickly and accurately.

Thank You for the priceless advise! I think I'll try this. I just have to overcome my tendency to draw as many details as possible.

Great drawings, I find hands and feet very difficult, hence the portraits. Must practice!
