Hand #2

Here is the second hand, Ladies and Germs...

It is from Laura Henry (http://sureaboutthat.blogspot.com/). Being a photo-collage with minor Photoshop editing in the background, Laura had this to say:

"Since I have no drawing ability I have to stick with textile art."

You can almost taste the confidence exuding from her words.

It is exciting to get the first hand up that is not something I drew. Keep them coming!

I have some more artists coming down the pipeline.

Stay tuned!

The First Hand

Hey there!

I'm going to kick this off by posting my entry. I tried to use many of my techniques for this pic. I also wanted to draw a hand that gives a general impression of me while not drawing my actual hand. I hope this is enjoyed and I hope it gets more people fired up to participate. I envision an amazing display of talents, styles, character, and techniques when enough people join in.

I'm really excited about where this can go!

So here is the first entry.

The Hitote Project

Welcome to the Hitote Project. This is an art project cooked up to unite artists under one common element: Hands.

I feel that the hand is one of the most defining characteristics of an artist's style. My aim on this site is to gather entries from as many artists as possible depicting one single hand, however they want, in whatever medium they want, in their style.

We get our name from the Japanese word "hitote" meaning "one hand" or "one's own effort" implying a multitude of things but specifically the hand we draw with, the hand in the image, and how an artist relies on their own efforts to achieve their goals.

I see much excitement down the road for us. Stay Tuned!
