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....

Maybe sometime, I wanted to do simple ones because the references I always found tended to have the hands doing dramatic things. When I struggled drawing was when I just wanted to do something simple but couldn't balance my sketchbook or keep putting my pencil down to pose my right hand, then pick up the pencil quickly before the image in my head disappeared.

Oh, I wish I had noticed these sooner! I was looking for a certain position. That's a good idea. Maybe I'll start adding some references for people to access too. Thanks!

Wow, finally someone had this idea. I mean, I bet that every artist once had problems with hands. I usually use my cel camera when I need a particular hand pose. Lot of people do it, but no one share it with others. Thank you for that! However, I need some pictures with front hand perspective (need to draw it right now). It's the worst position EVER!

It's a great idea, anyway, and it was nice of you and your sister to do this.
