I attempted this challenge twice, and though being honest I don’t love the result visually, I feel that’s not what the task was about. When looking at my hand, I realised all the little curves, bumps and turns. I was forced to see the detail. So I feel this is a good technique to remember maybe as a warm up, as to be more aware of the detail on something before trying to properly draw it.

Do try and compare those drawings with your 5 days 5 sketches one – very very different in style. Combining both skills (looking at detail but drawing essentials and looking at essentials but drawing details) will advance your freehand drawing heaps!
