Day 11

Mr. Hand peers deep into the crystal ball today, maybe seeing what the heck to take a picture of tomorrow.

There is a lot of potential for this shot.

Here are some pictures of the beauty dish I made from a restaurant mixing bowl.

Day 4

I think I must be a little spaced today. Oh well it is the 4th day of the challenge  :D

I quote from the rules:

5.Unlimited photo editing and combinations will be allowed. Go nuts! It's your chance to get creative.

Day 3

A little Frank Sinatra to set the mood...

 "What's the matter? You look like you've been on a hayride with Dracula." 

Ruby (Patricia Farr) to Phillip Raven (Alan Ladd) in THIS GUN FOR HIRE (1942)

Hand as photographed before I "took liberties" with it.  :D

 I couldn't resist a sketch of this one too.

 and just a touch of color...

Day 2

PEACE

I am taking the opportunity during the challenge of photographing my hand to use the pictures as sources for my drawing. This year I have decided to become more active in the illustration forum at Worth and teach myself more about digital illustration. So on these straight forward shots I will also be doing a digital sketch using the photo as a reference. Don't worry Morporkian and Whalelight the "eyes" are coming!

Day 1

The human hand is a great subject to photograph. It is very easy through expert posing and lighting to evoke tremendous mood from just a photo of the hand. Even a male hand with the proper posing and post processing can look female. What do you think?

The Draconian 30 Day Challenge is just hours away!

I am going to do a series of photos of my hand for this challenge. Here is a digital drawing of my hand as a teaser.
