This was a very specific, short order session: I did hands. I pride myself on my hands - there's an old-school quality to their gesture, imparted by memories of classic fashion illustrations as well as old mannequin poses. Plus if there was anything that was supremely intriguing for me to draw back when I was a child, it's hands. I've posted here before about Dave Cockrum's influence on me, and while these are more stylized (and intentionally so), I'm very particular about getting them right. Fortunately I have really long fingers so I can use myself as a hand model for women, but I had already drawn the gesture out without a reference and just needed to clarify the details...
