Elderly man with shaking hands

The first of a series of one-line drawings where the pen is kept on the paper from start to finish. This has several effects: it makes your lines bolder, it forces you to look even more closely at the subject and it limits the time available because of concentration span ...

 

I couldn't help noticing his shaking hands ... and then saw the title of the book he was reading ... I looked it up later and it is a biography of the man who first described Parkinson's disease ...

 

(NB I find the fact that I spelt "elderly" wrongly very interesting ... As a former English teacher, my spelling is pretty consistent ... More evidence of different areas of the brain involved in spelling v drawing ... ???)
