Figure Study
The art studio I go to for my weekly fix of figure drawing has been closed for the last couple of weeks, so I warmed up this morning with a 50 minute digital figure study. Normally when I figure draw I just use a pencil and focus on shape and value without taking color into account, so it was nice to work in color for once.
You can tell that I spent most of my time on the upper torso and arms, I was really drawn in by all of the shadows and highlights the back and arm muscles were forming,

Morning Warm Up
To warm up for work this morning I spent about an hour doing hand studies. I tried to focus on using line weight to describe the light and dark areas, so parts of the had that are in light have a thinner line than the ones in shadow, which helps hint at where the light source is.
Even though I've spent a lot of time studying human anatomy, I still haven't fully grasped (pun?) the structure of the hand. Practice sessions like this go a long way towards understanding building that knowledge.
