Description A detailed study hands under a light source and technique practice of contour lines with expression lines.

P.S: Expression Lines: are those contour lines that vary in lightness/darkness, thickness or type based on highlights, shadows and other details. Shining a light source at a good angle can really start to make nerves, bumps, bones, and other details visible which are not normally noticeable under normal lighting.

Thank you sara !!
And I drew on white paper ! and then on Photoshop I multiplied a paper texture so it looks like I drew it on sepia paper.
If you want paper like this though go to curry's or michael's and search for sepia paper. Best thing about sepia paper is you can take a white color pencil and use that for highlights.
Like this for example static.squarespace.com/static/… : ) notice the white color pencil highlights.
Also search for Moleskine pocket sketchbooks : ) those are awesome!!

I'm glad they will ^_^ ! Remember the best reference you can have is your own hands. Train your eyes to see the contour lines. You should spend more time watching the contour lines of your hand and less looking at the paper. Good luck!
