foreshortening

As I mentioned before, I have a few books from the library on drawing. Finding things to draw for me poses to be a bit challenging at times so I take ideas or projects from these books. This one book  has you use your hand to practice foreshortening which is challenging in itself. I used my small sketchbook so I ran out of room for my thumb. I used two days to do this drawing & it does look a bit better than when I put it down the first night. I will (without question) do this again. I need the practice in this area. I know to look for shapes & do not try to draw a 'hand' but my brain tells me otherwise most of the time - hence the need for practice.
