developing on my acrylic/oil pastel drawing of the three hands grasping at flesh, I wanted to create some source material that would aid in composition and lighting. The Monochrome four hands drawing being less effective as it lacked a light source to bring all the drawings into the same space. I discovered recently that as a student I can use photoshop free of charge, this offered the perfect opportunity. Above are four images that I would like to work from using a combination of ink, oil pastels, acrylic paint and chalk and charcoal.

I will see how my work progresses but I may have to return to these photographs and create some new and more exciting compositions.
