Hands are my favorite part of the body to draw. They contain so much detail and expression. I feel that a person's hand really define who they are and can be an alternate to the traditional portrait.

Often I choose to draw portraits in a variety of different styles. The above portraits are three different art styles I have incorporated into a recent sketchbook (I recommend Stillman & Birn sketchbooks, I find the high-quality paper takes on a variety of different mediums very well).
