Description
One of the things I find frustrating as an artist is trying to draw my right hand. I can't just drop my pencil, pose my hand, memorize how it looked, draw it, drop the pencil again, ETC. ETC. ETC! It's SO annoying! So I dragged my sister downstairs and told her that she was going to be a hand modal, as I forced her to hold her hand in the air for an extended period of time (which, I'll have you know, wasn't that long, though I'm sure she'll tell you it took forever). Some of the fingertips got a bit cut off while I was collaging them together, but I'm seriously lacking in the computer skills. Anything beyond selecting a few pictures in Picasa and clicking "collage", and I'm lost for hours.UPDATE - Thank you so much to everyone who has posted such nice compliments! I posted this because it was what I, as an artist, wanted, and apparently so do you! I have limited time (as seen by my severe lack of updates) but if there is something simple that would be helpful, let me know! I'll see what I can do....

Haha! I'm glad I saved you from waking up in the middle of the night and wondering why there was a hand reaching out of your shelf. Those things are definitely interesting... They work for some, just not me

Nope, it's not just you. I just misclicked when I was collaging the pictures in Picasa and didn't realize it until much later, but I figure it'll be OK here

Brilliant idea. I hate legs (hence the mermaids and long old-fashioned dresses). I'll find someone with better legs than me, and give it a shot sometime. Thanks for the idea!
