Hello friends of the Holos&Lotus community, a few days ago you posted an initiative to support our friend @charjaim who is going through a difficult time. I am new to the community, however, I can't just ignore this kind of initiatives, besides I have read some of your posts and I loved them.
I was thinking about what I could do to join the initiative and came up with the idea of drawing something that represented a helping hand, and had plenty of colors. So, I took all my tools and sat down to let my imagination fly. I hope you like it.

Procedimiento | Procedure
Paso 1: boceto | Step 1: Sketch
I started by placing my hand on the sheet to mark it on the sheet. Once I had the silhouette of the hand, I started arranging it and drawing the nails. This was a very simple step that didn't take me long.
Paso 2: Detalles y fondo| Step 2: Details and background
With my hand drawn, I began to draw details that came to mind. I drew a butterfly which is a symbol of transformation and change. Flowers that have many meanings depending on the color they have and are a great representation of emotions. Some of them I placed on band-aids to represent that even if you help someone else, you have wounds too.
For the background, I colored it with three chalks, one yellow, one green and finally one blue. I wanted to make this drawing very symbolic and fill it with objects that represent solidarity and good wishes, so the background also has meaning. The yellow, because it is a color that represents joy and optimism, that is something we should always keep in mind, even if we are going through difficult times. Green, because my mom told me it meant good health. Finally, blue, which, as many know, represents peace and tranquility.
Paint your nails red, I know that the color represents more love and passion, but it is also associated with strength and determination, which is necessary to be able to carry out our goals.
Paso 3: colorear mano| Step 3: hand coloring
Before starting to color all the details, color the hand with a skin color.
Paso 4: Colorear los detalles | Step 4: Coloring the details
I colored the strips and the plants. As for the flowers, color some blue ones to represent the peace and tranquility needed to be able to face any challenge in our lives. Other roses for gratitude and admiration; and finally, some purple ones for tranquility and inner peace. It represents peace and tranquility a lot because it is very necessary to be able to solve any situation wisely.
I colored the butterfly yellow because I once read that butterflies are symbols of good luck and prosperity.
That was the whole process, which mainly reflects joy, health and peace. I hope you liked it, I really liked drawing it, and although it is not perfect, I think it reflects what I wanted to show. I invite to participate to: @mireyaromero and @carly765
