4 x Self-portrait drawings using 'graphite stick pencil'...


Introduction




I like to practice doing art...; but, being a mere amateur self-taught artist...I, honestly, must confess that I'm not very good at it?! Still they do say that through putting in enough time/effort/patience/practice things could improve...

My lack of progress could, quite possibly, be due to the fact that I mostly tend to draw hands using my 'imagination'...; as opposed to studying learning how to draw 'real' hands, properly. -(The same above statement could be applied to anything else I attempt to draw...be it human body parts: hands/feet/heads/-etc.; or, landscapes/waterscapes...; I mostly tend to prefer working from 'imagination'.)- I feel conflicted between drawing 'designed' hands...which aren't necessarily real...but, still, are fun to draw...just let your imagination go; and, drawing a lot more highly effective 'real' hands.

Just like everybody else...who is living through this difficult period of 'plague'...I can't wait for the scientists to fin...
