    What a great take on this challenge and beautifully executed. Hands are sooooo hard! Mine is just a boring hand.

  2. Great! I like the look of the charcoal. I'm afraid of it because it's so messy. Like the composition. Like the drawing of several hands in different positions. Very nice.

  3. A very interesting recursive idea - hand drawing hand drawing hand ... charcoal is difficult to work with - you are very brave!

  5. Janey, It's a holder and I've inserted some vine charcoal in it. Does that help?

  7. This is so clever and creative, Jim! I love the shading and how surreal this is. I'm so tactile that I DO make a mess with charcoal. My favorite part is smearing it all over the place and smudging everything up. I see that you have more than a modicum of self-control. ;-)
