Description

hehe... well, ummm.... interesting piece, ne?
This was done a couple of years back and is still one of the most interesting conversational pieces I have ever made. Everyone wants to know why I did it and what it means.
Well, to the best way I can describe it- it's basically how I felt about myself. I was very depressed and upset and not too happy with my self (body, mind, personality, etc.). So one day in class, trying to think of something to work on, I did a very, VERY bad thing in the eyes of my art teacher.... I TRACED MY HAND! *dies of shock*

*revives herself* My teacher would have killed me if she had known I did this. She thought that tracing your hand was a big time cheat... So I colored, shaded and even put some finger prints (yes actual ones) on it...Then some little evil part of my mind was very angry with it. I didn't like my hand because of some strange reason and I had the biggest desire to suddenly tear through the picture. So I did....

Not literally of course. I drew the second hand on top of the cheat- (by the way- this "doodle" ended up taking me about eight hours)- and added all the shadows and such and ended up with the finished piece.

Every inch of this was with pencil drawing from real life. No photo reference.
