Absolutely convincing drawing Leo! Chapeau!!
I know what it takes and of course I completely agree with everything else you are saying... there are times, when even the hardest jobs fixing our house seemed easy, compared to solving a tricky problem in a painting.
Drawing a hand that looks natural is one of the hardest things there is. You have become a master in this!
Thank you Reinhard!
I had started this painting the other week, but then switched to my Icarus painting. So, the first task at hand afterwards, was to finish this drawing off.
But I have some tasks around the house, that even they do not provide a desirable distraction from difficult artwork. ;-)
