This is my third drawing from Drawing for Dummies.

This drawing is much harder for me. I guess it’s just a part that I’m not very interested in. Line drawings are what drove me away from Complete Idiots Guide to Drawing. I realize I will need to improve my line drawings in order to advance but I just don’t have the drive to do them at the moment. I would much rather be writing or coding or something than doing a line drawing. Especially hands. I don’t like the way the hands came out at all in this drawing. My wife tells me that if I don’t like it, I should just erase it and do it over again. I drew the hands three times. It finally came out to something close to proportional, but…. I’m going to push on and continue with some figure drawing after I finish these two books.

I realize that this is two drawing posts in a row. I need to work on another writing project of mine at the moment.
