I love this advice! I'm always struggling with my fingers - I WANT to use four, but three often "act" better. I'll try bundling the middle two next time!
I thoroughly enjoyed your latest piece on "finger bundling"! Your approach to simplifying hand drawing is both useful and inspiring. The examples you provided really clarified the technique, and I can't wait to apply it to my work.
Two things you are NOT pointing out that you are doing and that I like very much. First, the finger shape. They are NOT hot dogs, which are even circumference all the way up. Your fingers balloon at the tips, and exaggeration of the padding in our tips. Second, there is an overall rubbery quality to the line. Both of these give your hands great expressivity, a little like the way water in a thrown water balloon bulges. That’s the action, the life, the expressivity. Maybe you deal with this in an upcoming post. I’m starting the series from the beginning. Thanks again for these!

Thanks for noticing that! I’ll be sure to add that to the presentation for next time!
