Hand and Globe

Description

A pencil drawing on paper with white charcoal highlights, circa 2003. I was drawing this in my drawing class, taking the approach of starting with very loose geometric shapes with several swoopy light pencil lines to create the anatomy, and drawn-through ellipses to create the volume of the globe. Before I finished fully rendering the piece and then trying to clean it up, my teacher went nuts over how beautiful the quality, motion and flavor of the lines I'd used to set up things was. Rather than see me clean up these lines, in the hand or even the ellipses in the globe, she begged me to leave them as part of the finished project. The result has, I admit, really grown on me, and it's one of my favorite pieces.

This one, like many of my earlier drawings, became a Christmas present. My Uncle Miles & Aunt Linda are the proud owners of this piece. Though I haven't ever seen it up in their place, I know they've found a good home for it... *glaring at them in my mind*

Great job. & though it isn't (fully) finished, it tells the story much better & in fact is the better drawing than "The Artist's Hands in Prayer", which is supposed to be finished.
