      Talking a little about an awkward pair of hands in a contemporary portrait. One of the things I used to do was fill pages and pages with copies of hands I admired from paintings; here's a page from an early-art-school era sketchbook I happen to have nearby.pic.twitter.com/4wb2j9En6V

      Another page from the same book. Lotta Bouguereau hands here, who's a fantastic guy to look at for interesting, graceful, and well-executed hand poses. It's very easy, even if you get the anatomy correct, to make a hand resemble a pack of hot dogs.pic.twitter.com/on75HKxI8I

      Here are a couple of my own, from some various paintings! They're often a struggle, but I like 'em.pic.twitter.com/VuRxp5BAvO

      And a couple from drawings. I'm not holding myself up as an exemplar of perfect hands, but my Hot Tip right now is: always look for ways to add a little variation in pose & spacing to each finger. That helps avoid the hot dog problem.pic.twitter.com/92MMFu8NKv

      Hey, there we go, I thought I had a jpg somewhere. This is even older, prior to art school, when I was just getting serious about learning to draw. I was teaching in Japan at the time, and between classes I'd sit at my desk and draw my left hand (sometimes in a mirror).pic.twitter.com/NKkpybb7o6

      those hands are excellent (and my tastes run more to line art than oils, much of the time)

      It's weird the things you can do when you don't know anything. I, now, with training and a lot of work under my belt would be hesitant to grab a ballpoint pen and start drawing hands, bit that 22 year old madman did ok.

      I started two companies, wrote two novels, moved to a farm, etc etc knowing what I know now, I know that all of those decisions were terrible, and I was terribly unprepared! 😂

          the move was somewhat, ah, forced, but if i recall the companies & novels were just you getting more and more efficient at being unemployed

          (or maybe that should be "progressively worse at being")

          I feel like there's a prayer to be formed on the order of "Lord, please keep understanding of the scale of our goals from us until it's too late"
