Modified Contour Drawing

20/01/2020
This is part of a series of exercises in the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain".
This time my left hand. I'm not going to lie I found it difficult to do this one, but the book guides you pretty well all the way through.
This is also the first time that I thought about actually shading a drawing of mine. My first try didn't go so well. I then watched a couple of videos and learned about the mixer brush. I don't know, it just felt so natural to use. It might be because I need to learn proper painting techniques, but using normal painting brushes is way harder for me right now.
I put less time on the second drawing shading, I just wasn't feeling it as much as the first one.

This is my most detailed shading to date. I was really having fun so I decided to push myself to my limit.
