As hands are amongst my favourite things to draw, I worked them into my design for the Joiners and Ceilers show at the Guildhall Art Gallery a few months back. After getting client approval for the idea, I needed accurate reference photos. Luck was on my side as on the client team was master joiner Clive Turrell who was kind enough to pose for the photos. After a few pencil sketches, I scanned in my favourites and stylised them in Photoshop.
