100 Hands Challenge

Yes, I’m doing it for the whole month of October. In case you’re wondering, I’m using my left hand as The Model. I’m doing it every day. Okay, it’s a lie. But, I made it anyway. I was struggling at first because I sucked at it. I came up with the idea of watching Youtube. I was running out of the idea of what I should be practicing next. Clearly I still need to practice my drawing.

I was watching Minnie Small Channel on Youtube she had this

30 Ways To Fill a Sketchbook In A Week!

And I was inspired by that, you should check her channel. She’s cool! She’s doing it in a week and I’m doing it in a month and only for hands, a hundred hands. Yeah, baby steps.

I search for pictures of hands on the internet. It was hard the first time. Because I don’t have anyone to teach me how to start or tell me what did I do wrong. So with great effort, I sacrificed my left hand as The Model. And it turns out pretty well.

I won’t upload all 100 hands here, because it would be a waste of space, everyone knows what a hand looks like. But here some more.

The first week, it was all about drawing hands from real life, without props, and the second week, still, from real life, but this time with things the hands could carry. Either bracelet or anything. And I think I draw it faster than before. Then onto the third and fourth week, I tried to do it without looking at my hands.

I’ve got to be honest, I won’t do 100 challenge anymore. It’s boring. In my third week, I almost gave up. To repeat the same thing over and over again is really takes a lot of great will to do it. Especially for me. But, in order to get better, it’s a must right? So to give it more interest I draw Jungkook of BTS hands.

It took me a while to realize there’s something wrong with the hand. Yup, it has only nine fingers. But don’t worry on the final seven, I put the right numbers of fingers.

This is what getting stubborn brings. And I’m happy with the result.

Let’s move on.
