AOI meetup life drawing session hosted by the Swansea Illustrators Club, devoted to drawing the human hand.
Just HANDS is a life drawing session at Elysium Gallery on Wednesday 28 October, running from 7 to 9 pm. It's hosted by Tom Wolfe and organised by the Swansea Illustrators Club, and it does exactly what the name says: the whole evening is devoted to the human hand. The club frames it as the hardest part of the body to draw, and a subject artists often hide in the background of their characters, so the session is built around facing it head-on.
They describe it as a zero-judgment zone, and that's the point. You're there to work through the phalanges and draw whatever comes out — from spidery alien claws to chunky mittens — without worrying about whether it looks right. It's open to students, seasoned professionals, and complete beginners, so you don't need to be at any particular level to join in.
