capture



These are my hands..drawn from a photo...as to try and draw ones own hands whilst they are tied is rather tricky... I've always wanted to do a drawing of just hands but was never quite brave enough... but have learnt through this sketch to not be a such a big girls blouse about such things....also learnt that I will never be into bondage..I did not like being tied up at all

Now that I look at it on the screen , it looks like the hands themselves could be about to capture something in their grasp....hmmmmmmm...


.....20 minutes and a photoshop diddle later.........



two captures for the price of none!

It's funny, but I think of all the artists I grew up with, they all hated or feared hands. They are such wonderous devices that to capture them as well as you have done here is quite a feat. Great job.

You have a pair of powerful hand. I have always envy those who have beautiful hands which are smooth and without wrinkles.But not mine as I have been using them to do so much house works that make them look fat and rough.

Beautiful drawing and concept. I like them both - the first leaves you contemplating and the second give you a beginning. (if that makes sense)

Oh my...this is so stunning! Your skill and draftsmanship is clearly evident here, but there's also a feeling of emotion in open hands bound but reaching out for something. It's as if the spirit never stops seeking.... I love the addition of the butterfly, but even without it, there is such strong symbolism. Beautiful work!

Wow great work! i love the detail in the hands and rope. Great pencil work. I like how the butter fly changes the mood of the piece. Great illo(s)!
