Yes, it's that time of year again, so here's the first installment of the Daily Sketchbook Quota:

Handy Handy Hand Hands

I was looking at my Clacks board the other day, which I drew just after Dragons 2 and just before the Dessert Dish Incident, and got depressed. Aside from all the other skills I've lost, I realized I haven't had to draw hands at work for seven months so any advantage I may have had at drawing them is lost ... time to start over.

And yes, I know the clenched fist is some sort of fascist and/or Northern Irish partisan symbol but dangit, fists are HARD TO DRAW, so cut me a little slack, wouldja?

I have life drawing tonight so that'll count as today's...

I thought Life Drawing would be sketchbook enough for the day (despite the fact that, in some magical instant last summer, I somehow became incapable of keeping proportions) but I checked my mail before catching the bus home and recieved that one plaintive cry from the wilderness, which struck me with this brilliant idea:

Left-Handed Harry! The scary thing is, some of these are better than my right-handed drawings ... makes me think (as I have before) I'd be a better artist if I were left handed. This got me a few odd looks from the people on the bus but OH WELL!
Page Two - The dainty hand of the girl sitting in front of me, the back of the head of the girl sitting in front of her, an attempt at the Citadel of Kom before I figured I was too hyper and impatient to do anything layout-y, and then Left-Handed Om because it was so much fun on the previous pages. And this one is better too. :P
Bruthas! - I think I have drawn a couple ones almost identical to the top left, but it's always worth another go at developing that thumbnail I'm so in love with. And angst!Brutha (I MOCK the hyphen!exclamation) from later in the book when he's being all 'omg vorbis is nutz &im scard &i cant here my turtle!!!!1' Looks a lot like Masklin's drawing. It's the same kind of scene.
