Another Set o' Hands
My assignment with this one was, "wedding rings, maybe broken." Ever try to draw a simple wedding band? Not so easy as it sounds. My efforts before this looked like... well, circles, or the start of the Olympic Rings. Not good. So? Back to hands. What I actually like about this one, despite my obviously shaky command of human anatomy, is that from different directions, it may mean different things: taking off a wedding ring (that was the idea) or putting one on, vertically, whether pointing up or down, it rather crudely suggests the perspective of a participant, viewed horizontally and the viewer is just that.
Nothing intentionally clever about this, just something amusing I noticed after the drawing was inked.
