Concentration #12

As our time between projects decreases, my ideas have to be changed in order to complete projects on time. My first idea was to create a hand coming out of a mouth. I had found a good reference picture of a hand and was able to replicate the angles from there. I then went in and tried to outline the mouth around it. I soon realized that this would be challenging and that I didn't have the right angles to create it how I wanted. I still wanted to include a hand in my project, but I didn't know what to do with it. In the end I drew a simple drip of blood coming from one end of the paper to the end of the hand. I used water colors to add color to my piece and outlined it all in pen when I was finished. When the piece was finished I thought about what I would write for the poem and where I would put it. Once I had my final poem, I went straight to writing it in pen. This turned out to be a bad decision as I misspelled a word on the second line. Luckily I had download a photo of my project on the computer and was able to reprint it. From there I re-outlined the hand in black and used the red to color the drip. From there I wrote to poem in pencil this time and once everything was right I went over it in pen. I chose to write my poem upside down in order to force other to look closely at the painting to read it.
