Shaundra Reclining. In this drawing I like how I managed to simplify the hands and feet just by using a few careful lines. Hands and feet can be overwhelmingly complicated…With the hands I try and “draw the mitten” — it is important to get the big structure before breaking it down to smaller shapes. With feet is helpful to imagine a doorstop-shaped mass before getting overly involved in toes. Sometimes less is more.
