When I was in college I dated a guy who was a horror writer. In those years I saw more horror movies than I really had the taste for, but there was one that I'm often reminded of when it comes to drawing. I think it was called "Evil Dead". In it a man's hand turns against him, grabbing knives and attempting to kill everything in sight as he races to try to control it. Drawing can be like that. You see what mark you want to make and then your hand does something completely out of control. You gasp in horror but when you try to fix it your hand screws it up again! I'm sure that's not what Louis de Boullogne had in mind for his original sketch of this hand. But you never know.
