Sketchtember day 18: Hands

Helloooooo this is such a bad humpdaayyyyy. goodness i had so much overworm than usual and i really give up on everything today. I'm sad I can't even finish my drawing today too so you'll have to see the shame of my unfinished work 🥲

I would have finished it on another day but I really don't want to break my streak yet, especially when I'm just a few days from hitting the 20s ^^ when I hit this then I'll take it easy because I do think it'll be impossible for me to actually finish the 30 prompts now when I have such hell days like these.

For today's phobia, we have the fear of hands or chirophobia and I'm not sure how common or rare this phobia is because I've never heard of it before but I do think that people who suffer from this have suffered some kind of abuse while growing up? and people can cause a lot of violence with their hands. but I have read that it's not limited to other people's hands, it can also include their hands too but I'm not really sure how that develops.

materials: markers, pens, chalk
Duration: 2 hours

So yes, I gave up on my 2 hour mark but that's because I had sooo much paperwork and documentation to handle in preparation for the audit next week, as well as a few analysis I still had to perform since I'm not really exempt from lab work just because I'm handling documents.

I really thought I would finish this fast if I did it with markers but even with such a bright base color, i still needed a bit of a pen layer... and by a bit, i mean a lot 🤣

This was about 1.5 hours into drawing and I could really feel my hands starting to ache so I actually just did a few details for the next 40 minutes then called ot quits for the night because even I'm starting to doze off. today was just that tiring, i swear.

Unfortunately, this is all from me for tonight! I'm still glad that I got to draw a bit and keep up my streak. I'll try to make it up tomorrow 🥲

Day 18 dooonnneee ~~ well, partially. I did my best and I do think it will come out pretty when I actually finish it, but until then, I'll have to settle with this one that's halfway done!
