The human hand is a marvellous thing!

...and a tricky one to draw! This one was fiddly and finnicky; I used photos of my own hand for the base reference, and a variety of sources to get the bones and musculature right: diagrams from every angle I could find, ref videos of finger bones curling and uncurling, and several fantastic medical student sites that let you explore 3D muscle and bone models from different perspectives. A challenge, for sure, but a fun one!

Made for BAD Stitch's Spellbound Stitches Vol: 5: The Bookmark Book, a charity bookmark collection that raised funds for charities serving immigrants and refugees.
