"Spells" was my Inktober prompt this day and it provided the perfect opportunity for me to tackle a challenging subject: hands. Historically, drawing hands has been a struggle for me, so I approached this piece as a personal study to improve my skills in this area.

As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect," and I was determined to rise to the challenge. Despite the difficulty, I persevered, and I'm quite pleased with the outcome. The hands in this piece turned out better than I expected, showcasing the progress I've made through dedicated practice.

The central theme of the artwork is the act of casting a spell. The subject's hands are positioned in a gesture that suggests she is conjuring magic, with sparkles swirling in the air around her. This portrayal emphasizes the mystical and enchanting nature of the scene, drawing viewers into a world of fantasy and wonder.

Through "Spells," I aimed to capture the essence of magic and mystery, using the Inktober prompt as a catalyst for exploring new techniques and pushing my artistic boundaries. It was a rewarding experience that allowed me to overcome a personal artistic challenge while creating a captivating and evocative piece of artwork.
