Hand Study

Photo Study of Hand

For some reason, hands are difficult to draw.  I must have some kind of block, that prevents me from seeing the forms that truly exist.

They have been in front of me all of my life.  

I know what hands look like.

That my problem.

Lines and tones go on paper, not the "hands" that exist in my mind.  

A curious thing, this concept of drawing something.  

Paper is flat.  My hand is solid. 

What goes on paper are tones.  I don't even draw the whole hand.
