I think the phrase is '...from bad to worse...'. That's how I felt about this. I completely spun out of control on this one. I wanted so badly to redeem myself that I started jst doing stupid things to try and make it look better. I almost completely stopped trying to observe my hand and was almost trying to paint it purly from my head (despite the fact that my hand was RIGHT THERE to look at).
This was really the one that made me want to stop for a bit. Hands are hard, really hard. And that was actually the problem. I am VERY new to watercolors and am very much still in the beginning phase of learning the medium. Unfortunately I am slso very much at the beginning of learning proper hand anatomy. That was my problem. If I were more familiar with the medium, or the subject I think I'd of been okay, but the combination is what killed it for me. I need to focus on one problem at a time, at least in this case.
The thumb in the corner shows a little bit of promise though... Coming soon I'll show you some pieces where I tackle hands head on in an arena I'm more comfortable with - colored pencil.
