Floral
The hand is one of the harder places to hold detail, so the composition matters more than the drawing. I ran the branch diagonally, from between the knuckles up over the wrist, and let the two open blossoms sit where the skin is flattest. The buds and leaves take the parts that move.
Petals here are shaded soft rather than packed solid. Heavy black on a hand tends to spread over the years, and the tendons underneath keep pulling at the lines. Keeping the shading light and the outlines clean gives the piece a better chance of staying readable. Hands also heal fast and fade faster than anywhere else, so I tell people up front that a touch-up down the line is normal and not a fault. This photo was taken at the end of the session, so it shows the composition, not a healed result.
