Hand Study

This was a study of my left hand focusing on the relationship between muscles, bones and the effect on the outer appearance of it. It was difficult to maintain the same pose for such long periods of time but it was great to do another study of my hands. I used graphite pencils and copic markers on bristol board. The background was very difficult to deal with so I replaced it in photoshop to enhance the overall appearance of the drawing. It took me about 6 hours to finish the drawing itself. Cleaning it up in photoshop were an additional 2 hours.
