sketcharoo 3


it's been a rough day at work today. it wasn't about the work though. it's complicated. completely shocked me. and there will be repercussions in the days to come.

there are only three things that take my mind off things. music, books and art. so when i dive into these three things all at the same time, reality must have pinned me to the ground. so when i got home this morning from work, i skipped breakfast and immediately set down to work.

in my earlier posts, i said i needed to work on drawing hands. i've drawn fingers on one recent drawing but it was like an anime cut out. so a big X mark on that. so today, i tried again.


i drew in the eyes first. i went back to my old routine, i wasn't comfortable starting with anything else aside from the eyes. i drew the hand last. i had to erase a gazillion times because it never looked right. there was always something wrong about the bone structure or the curve of the finger, the length of each finger, etc etc. but it was just a rough sketch anyway, i said i'd fix it along the way.

my obssession with eyes. enough said.

i had to start with the hand eventually. and it was a total disaster. LOL.

look at that. it's like a big bad tumor that grew fingers. hahaha. too bad the pretty face is stuck with it. i tried, really. i guess that just means i'm going to have to draw more hands from now on.


delicious ambiguity.
