Hands On Candle – Sketching Phase – 1/2 – 5 january 2022
Hands On The Candle is just the beginning of a bigger project I will share on the 23rd of August 2022. So stay tuned & let’s now discover the premises of this study 🙃
The Hands’Reference
For this sketch study, I picked a cosy photography from Unsplash, by Rebecca Peterson-Hall : I loved the impression of warmth and silence conveyed by this photography.
It looks like someone is carefully lightning candles on a windy and calm winter evening.
You can find the photography here 📸.
Sketching the Hands
My favorite steps so far: focused on simplifying the picture, I drew the outlines first. Then, I emphasized the shadows on the back of the hands and the soft light reflecting inside of them.
Here is the quick sketch I made. I found the result quite inspiring and decided to further this study… 🏃♀️
Hands: Sketch to Digital
This next step will permit me to put colors and make the sketch version pop properly.
I hope you enjoyed this little sketch phase (swipe to compare).
The Hands Digital Version
Coming soon is the digital version of The Hands and I can assure you, you’ll be surprised by the result 🤗! Also, I made on the same day (5th of January 2022) another sketch named Pretty Face. I shared it already so you can find it here 📖.
