Good positioning and form Mia, great idea.

Good hand drawing Mia. Drawing like this from life takes a deal of concentration and is well worth doing.

We'll never suffer from 'artist block' again Mia! Great drawing!

Well there's handy Mia. Like your left foot it is always with you. Nice drawing.

Excellent drawing, Mia! Simply but beautifully composed, and very effective.

Lovely drawing Mia! I must try that one day! Funny how different hands and feet are with every individual. Worth observing!

Thank you all very, very much for your nice comments. I like drawing my hands, I often do so when I don't know what to draw. The foot was an exception. It caught my eye while I was reading a book in my armchair, feet up.

Thanks Mia for your comment re my Wiveton Pen and Wash. You have a great skill in drawing which I envy. Never mastered it hence the use of a matchstick and ink rater than a pen nib which hides imperfections.

Thank you very much, Alan. I appreciate.

While I was making the drawing of my left foot, I thought: well, there is still another subject for sketching. So I decided to have a go: sketching my left hand while holding the paper. I went straight in with the Stabilo Point 88 and then gave it a wash here and there with my waterbrush. What do you think? Subject always 'at hand'...
