**Giggles!**
Probably painfully slowly, I'm going back through the tutorials that i favorited and yet never thought much about. A friend of mine is just tickled that I'm getting back to drawing since I have been pretty much not since 2018 or so. Sure, there were a few attempts here and there, but nothing really solid. ❤️

For me, the hands are some of the hardest features to draw. Mainly because I got so wrapped up into them with people saying, "Those are your weakest parts, showing you don't understand how the hand works." Well, this might sound morbid, but in one of the anatomy classes I had way back in my days of wanting to be a scientist, we actually had a pair of male hands that the department head had gotten from ... somewhere? I didn't ask truth be told, but I was fascinated by the dissection. Now, with me having an amputation of a good portion of my left foot, including the smaller toes, I doubt I could do it these days, much less without freaking out. Later, I would end up going to SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) where one of the books that was required "The Dynamic Hand!", which showcased how expressive they could be. I was hooked! ❤️

Since leaving SCAD and trying to get back into drawing, I have also returned to my rule of always including a hand, no matter how poorly it looks, with my artwork. Always looking for the opportunity into improvement and that only comes through practice. So, this wonderful tutorial by Simon Grunewald, or schmoedraws , is a really fun and fast tutorial to kick back and try after my lunch-munch. ❤️
