Look up illustrator Jim Phillips's screaming hand design for Santa Cruz Skateboards from 1985. I bet you'll like it. Thank you for working so hard on this, I hope you score yourself high on Expression on the 8 Studio Habits portion of the reflection for this drawing. This is a really exciting image. And, there's lots of evidence that you were observing more, and more carefully than you have all year- way to go. It would be great to see some more contrast, range and modeling on the hand to help it feel more solid & 3D. If you can help it, try to make those extra marks or doodling on scrap paper or another page in the sketchbook, it'll be lot less distracting from your main image. Good job, you should be proud, you've come a long way since September, Let's see how much further you can push yourself in the 3 & 1/2 weeks we have left.
