Ahhhh, even the fabulous Mary had a challenge with hands...lol. She will always be my hero!! Now off to read your recommendations.
ReplyDeleteCindy - the one holding the cup does look queer. But, sometimes the actual truth of how things look can be strange. Should one standardize the hand, so it looks normal? Or, draw it as it appears?

Thanks for reading/commenting!
