Concept/camera lens/model/edits by me ( Erin Conley )

The concept started as taking macro shots of the veins in my wrists, and evolved into how much we could abstract my hands and arms. Turned into a project of movement, lighting and color. I love the expressive quality of hands, how much can be said with them.

These were shot all getto-fabulous, using a bed sheet as the backdrop, and a plastic blue poncho as our 'color gel' over our light source. :P

Vacation doodles

Life drawings done while on vacation in Upstate NY. The left is my second cousin's rocking horse, who was missing an ear, and the right is a clover flower. I didn't know what to do at the bottom, so the hands were a second thought, resulting in some not so good composition.

I've got a bit of a hand motif going on lately. Trying to get more confident with drawing them. The hand on the left is mine, and the monster is more just filler. The right is a combination of two photos I took at Holywood Cemetery.

Hands

I'm keeping a sketchbook for my concept class, and here's a page from it I'm pretty fond of. Hands are a bit of a weakness of mine, so I've been practicing at them to get better. These hands belong to me, and my fingers are so bony, they're tough to draw. Which means I should do more of them.
