I´ve been drawing some more hands as preparation for an etching on wood or linoleum.

I like the idea of "burning hands"... I´m just trying to show how hands can express feelings or thoughts, and this idea of a hand stretching out because of the heat has been wandering around my head for some time... Also, I think the way the outline of the hand is "broken" into small flames is interesting, when usually the normal outline of a hand is so smooth and continuous.

I want the background, on the contrary, to be simple, geometric and portray continuity...

I´ll probably use linoleum for this one.
