This year, having stayed on campus, I was able to experience local festivities. There was a local parade which started at the intersection of Lincoln and Nevada over in Urbana. Parades, in my opinion, aren’t too interesting to begin with. But this parade, while nothing special, wasn’t half bad. The Champaign-Urbana area managed to hold a pretty big lineup of floats, bands, and old people to march down town.

I bbq’d with some friends for dinner, which was muy yum. At night, I went to a fireworks display over at the park next to Parkland college. It was pleasing to the eyes. Afterwards, I ate some sweet corn. In the end, I can say that spending the fourth down in Champaign wasn’t bad at all.

As for work, some odd forces have been conspiring to get me injured. A few days back, I managed to get a long bleedy scrape on my left leg while I was moving equipment. An angry desk had attacked me with it’s sharp corners. Yesterday, some metal on a usb port was bent outwards and I sliced my palm on it as I was trying to pick the computer up. And just today, I was cutting open a box, and managed to run the sharp edge of a pair of scissors over the tip of my middle finger on my left hand. This one was real bleedy. The last part was prolly my fault though.

Blah!

This is pretty much how I go about drawing my hands. I find that starting with a trapezoid shape really helps me flesh out a decently proportional hand. People tell me I draw hands really well, so even if they aren’t anatomically correct, at least they look good doing so.

Honestly, I don’t go through all the steps I drew here anymore, as I try to avoid erasing and I have a decent grasp of how hands are shaped. But I do still start off with the trapezoid when I need help positioning a hand correctly. Until you can draw a hand without such help, you might find my method quite useful.

In other news, upgraded to Wordpress 2.3.1. It has tag support! Unfortunately, Comicpress doesn’t have widget support to show a tag cloud yet. Poopy.
