Now, what shall I draw....?

My Hand

My Hand

This is my most recent drawing. When I look back to my first drawing I can see I have improved.
Once again I think that perhaps I could be braver when it comes to shading and this is something I really need to practice.
I was sitting in the lounge with my pad and pencil just wondering about what I should draw, when I noticed my left hand resting on the edge of the pad. Since it was there and I had control over whether it moved, I thought 'Oh well, I'll draw my hand then!' So I did.
I was quite pleased with it, and when I showed my Mum she immediately recognised that it was my hand - as only a Mum would - and I think that can only be a good sign!
I guess this is absolute proof that there is always something to draw, wherever you are!

Note from Admin:
I can see you're getting the gist of drawing, Sandra. To draw your own hand is a common exercise for beginners and your drawing shows you are coming along quite nicely. Well done!

Hi,
This drawing is really good! I think your shading is fine! You could draw a girl,fish,dog,eyes,someone famous. Draw what you think you are capible of and what you feel you will shine at!
Good luck and Happy drawing! Let me know what you choose

hint
by: Anonymous

think I just gave you this hint, but shading should be in direction of the object, these are circular object so shading should be more like circles and darker to lighter. I should copy some of these and post just to make it simpler to follow the idea.
