Description In this piece I had to come up with different angles of my hands(at least 3) & place them together into one connecting image. Mediums used are No.2 Pencil, Transparent Drawing Paper, Colored Paper(of your choice), Fine Point Sharpie, & 3 Diff. Color Pencils. I frist angled my hands in diff. posit. & sketched them out on separate pieces of paper. Then I placed them all onto a light table so I could see how I wanted to have my hands placed in the final product. Once I figured out what I wanted I taped the pieces together & placed Colored Paper on top to transfer my image onto the Colored Paper. After that was done, I traced the pencil with a Fine Pointed Sharpie to pull out the shape of my hands. As the final step to my piece I chose 3 different colors fading from light to dark(all diff. colors) & procceeded to shade in. a very patient & overall enjoyable piece to have done. Comments & crit. welcomed.

this looks great, I love the shading and the contrast of the warm light with the blue paper, the hands themselves look good, too, for all I know

It was a neat little project I did in school. I wouldn't mind doing another or other art using the same concept. I like to do lots of detailed art work so this was nice to do with out all the detail. Glad you like it.

if at first we don't succeed we must try and try again, You've done really well on colour, shading and outline here. the line art being done in something other than black is new and fresh. So very well done here, you've done a fantastic job

Thank you very much. It took me several times of going over the colors in order to make them pop against the blue paper. -Nixirhei
