Modified Contour Drawing Hand

For this project the class was told to do a contour drawing of our hand holding something. The purpose of this exercise was to practice seeing details, meaning the lines on our hand in this case.

To do this project we used a hard pencil. The main element of this drawing was line, which was used to show shape.

I think that my finished drawing is pretty good; I used line effectively, and I captured the essential details of the hand. As with my other contour drawing, I messed up with the composition, so if I did this project again I would put more focus on that. Additionally, I think that since there's a pattern forming with my frequent unsatisfactory use of space I need to think about that when I'm doing any project.
