Cherrycat's sketchbook (beginner)

[cherrycat]

the 2nd pic is based off a hand that Bridgeman drew.
I decided to start off with Bridgeman because how he draws anatomy is different to me, making me more incline to copy and memorize it rather than using the information I already have.
I've done 4 while looking at reference, I plan to do 18 of them and do another 18 but out of memorization. It was a technique that the creator of the forums (I think) used in the beginning to get better.
