A little repetitive, but eh...
You may wonder why I keep putting up pics of my hand. Two reasons: 1) Drawing hands is the easiest thing for me to draw accurately and 2) I've been trying to follow the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain exercises, and they always start with a drawing of your own face, a drawing of your hand, and a drawing of the corner of a room. So, after myself, I did the hand and room to start it out. May I mention that I hate drawing non-living things? I did the room drawing as quickly as possible, and I didn't like it much. Perhaps for a change I should draw feet next time.
Also, I spent my first day at my student assistant job. Not a particularly exciting job, but they don't mind if you do homework (or drawing) while you're there, so it's actually a good way for me to have more "free" time while getting paid and having tech experience to add to my resume. Besides building up my portfolio, I intend to have enough experience/knowledge to be able to get a job as a tech or sys admin so that I can have something to live on when I move to California (or wherever I end up moving).

Interesting looking book, the amazon preview showed the beginning and wow there are a lot of exercises. Sounds like a good guide though. I like the hand, thought it came out nicely, the shadows and the wrist really stick out in my mind as the best parts. I like how the hand was just in a natural position, I could picture a photograph of your hand looking similar.
I can see how inanimate objects can be a pain to draw. Brick has to be tough to draw, I thought other than an odd angle with the bricks the room look alright for a quick once over. It's always more fun guessing what was drawn.. I'm guessing that's a mantle area with an idol, ice bucket and lamp w/ a cute ribbon! =p
That's a plus that you can make your spare time at your job even more productive with some room for a little art. It's a smooth start.
