I got carried away and added shadows and some sort of background :)

 

I looooove how these colors worked together.

 

I was just starting with my pencil drawing when I remembered to take a "before" pic...

 

...and this is the "after" scanned version, I really want to learn how to draw faces and in general humans that actually look like humans, haha!

 

I could fill my sketchbook with different color combinations :)

 

I chose only 2 colors for this one, the green is a combination of those 2

I think it has a bit more contrast in real life, but yeah, wouldn't hurt a pinch of boldness like with the cube, but heeeey! I draw a hand! yay! actually 2, actually I just started a 100 hands challenge and seems like it is working!

 

Thank you Arleesha! had fun with these exercises and specially liked the emphasis on values / color studies, I think this is what I need at the moment :)
