Thank you!! I think hands are so beautiful and expressive but I always struggle so much with them...I'm so glad you noticed the white strokes! When the idea for this drawing popped into my head, the translucent freezing wind was definitely part of it, and I was really hoping it came through <3 Appreciative as always for your eagle eye!!As for the emotion - I love these two so much! I was going for "all we have left in the world is each other"
