Illustration Friday-"Stitch"
Click image for a larger view.
This is my entry for IF's "stitch" topic.
I relish your feedback! Who says "relish" anymore???
I might try another variation where the left hand is getting stitched. Or maybe plaid. We'll see...
OK, I posted a second variation, the quilt idea...
And a third idea, which I think is good, but needs some other treatment...

neat! I really suck at drawing hands.. i'm jealous! Good work :)
I really love your hands theme throughout all your illo's. The quilted version definitely stands out just because the negative space is broken up more. I love the color scheme as well.
There's so much potential with two hands and stitching; I personally would like to see the right hand stitching the left hand. It'd make for an interesting narrative.
Awesome work as usual. :)
i already kno wu can do hands but i like ur rendition of needle, fabric and thread here and i like relish on my hot dogs wit extra mustard lol ; michael dailey
great rendition....and "relish" is a great word....highly overlooked...
This has to be one of my favorites! You did an incredible job!
Interesting to see a man's hand stitching. Great interpretation!
This is so perfect for your hand series! Awesome piece and i love the quilt too!
great hands!
Wonderful! I love the colors and the slight texture on the quilt (it looks almost stamped or maybe light pen strokes?). I wish I could draw hands!
Relish is a great word - I use it all the time! :)
I had a look at your sites and really like your style. It looks almost Asian inspired with the darker outlines and muted colours.
Bravo! Great illo!
great illustrations and i like the third one most esp.
as always, amazing!

The second illustration really stands out for me. Very nice.
Your work is easy to relish!
Love it!
I love archaic language (ie relish), but anyways, I love the complex simplicity of your work, if that makes sense. Very minimal but yet, not easy to draw hands so perfectly.
Yeeeowch!!;-)
Very poetic!! : ) I love your illo`s
I like the third panel the best. Dr. Frankenstein meets Martha Stewart - great!
Thanks for the comments you've left on my blog. I appreciate it.
Also, I love "relish". Especially on hot dogs.
Your talent is prodigious (don't you relish that word?) I am in awe.
I like the concept of the third idea, but in color terms i prefer the second one.
I think you can even pick the three illustration as part of the same whole work.
Greetings!
Really great, Scott! Thanks again for the kind words over on my site!
nice work..and love the progression....I felt the one where he is stitching up his own wound...very clever...
Cheers,
Diana
captivating!
The second one is my favorite visually, but I really like the concept of the third. I'd love to see plaid. I'll be checking back to see how many more variations you come up with.
Thanks!
well done here
i really love the way you draw hands.. i must say that thats one of my weak points. anyway, the third illo reminded me of edward scissorhands, i dunno why.. hmm..
Ouch that musta hurt! hihihi so I send you a BIg HUUGGGG
^_^
I think the 3rd and 2nd work sequentially - "I stitched my hand, so I could stitch the quilt" Clever work.
I like the concept of third one, but it a bit terrifying! Looks pain!
You have very creative hands!
I relish your variations on a theme. You really cut the mustard. It would be hard to ketchup to level.
very fine
This is so cool, Scott! The hands are beautifully done, but my favorite is the glimpse of the cogs and gears beneath the skin... very clever!
Every single piece here is wonderful. I love the line that you are creating, the colors, the theme and the subtle surprises that happen along the way.
you've got a really strong graphical style which really suits the topic... All the hands you have throughout your blog are fantastically observed, in my opinion hands are tough to illustrate and you do them very convincingly.
Hello,
I love all, the first and third really strong!!...
Good to see your art again. As always, the hands are brilliant. I like the sewing of the hand idea; the abiguity of whether the character is sewing plad onto hi/her flesh or whether the there is a flesh suit over a plaid body. Good stuff.
very cool. love your illustrations.
I like #3 too conceptually, but the colors of #1 best. Great work!
You are so good at drawing hands...:)
I also think the third one is the strongest conceptually... but I like them all. The yellow just look so good!
great progression of images!
you have a very clean digital style, something you have mastered well. i like the last one with the hand stitching the other hand, seems meaningful some how
I'm enjoying the hands. Equally pleasing are your color choices. Good stuff.
it looks really good as a series.
Thanks for visiting!
I really like the 3rd image. Great work!
The hands are an intricate part of the body, and you continue to produce great drawings of them. I myself like drawing hands...
I dig the word relish. Great hands and great series here. I'll have to explore your blog a bit more.
I LOVE the third one, so science fiction-y, too cool!
My grandma used to make great relish.
Love the hands and the background colors!
Beautiful! Lovely textures and they work well together as a trilogy.
Really extraordinary stuff! I'm awestruck! Hands are so difficult!
Your hand(i)work is excellent and you have such a strong graphic style - very professional. Will look out for your IF projects...
nicely done!
Love your colors choice!
The third one is strong and cool!
Cata
Number two for me! Great stuff.
oooh that hurts... and yet done very gently and somehow soothing...
great hands as always!
Awesome work. You always do really good hands.
Yeah, I would have to say my favorite one is the glimpse into the hand. Love the textures of your backgrounds as well.
59 comments (before I post)?? Wow! Okay, now a big WOW in regards to your illustration. You are the master of drawing hands. Great work!
Wonderful work! You really are a master at drawing hands. And the gears peeking through the wound...so creative!
Thank you for the lovely comment!
This is great. I especially like the brown outline and your choice of color. Warm and human-y and so cold and mechanical once we see the inside of that hand.
ps: Thank you for visiting my blog
Your hands are wonderful, the whole series is very strong, I like the texture combined with the very graphic drawings.
With this set, I think you're right, the third is a really great idea but is missing something visually. Something about the negative space compared with your past entries in this style maybe.... The middle one works the best out of the Stitch series so far. Great work!
great illustration. although for sme reason reinds me of chopping a bit of finger with the paper cutter last month...the hazards of the artist. alas.
hey the first one doesn't have a lot in it but great texture, then the second one had more going on with it and more of a story, then the third one I said "ah now that's cool." You're really getting somewhere in the third one because it has an original concept in it...the best part is what you thought up to be inside the hand! So if you do another version of that, put more emphasis on that part by having that part more centered or enlarged. I always look forward to seeing your illustrationfridays.
Very nice hand drawing, actually great hands. Good series.
Wonderful hands! But I can't really look at the third one - painful!!
The last one is a little creepy I must say. Kind of makes me think of Arnold in Terminator.
Great work
Muito bom, Scott!
Nice serie "hands"
In potuguese: mãos
See you
Last one is freaky :O Very good job!
the last one scores my vote....
you might look for a contrast... for the backgound.. digital feedout ,muted? though frankly.. i like it as it stands
Dude, you must spend all day staring at your hands. Do you dream about them too?
Visually, I like the second piece, but conceptually, the bottom one. My old professor said I always went with concept over composition, so why be different now? All are excellent, but man, I dig those gears.
Scott, I think your first try is very strong. The slit reveals but on first glance it is unclear what lies beneath the surface. The mechanical elements make for an interesting contrast to the hands.
what an eggsellent drawing, i find hands virtually impossible to draw, so am jelly-ass.
wonderful!
