Pure Contour Hand Drawing

Artist Statement

In this project, we were assigned to draw our hand with a rubber band placed somewhere on our hand. The materials I used were a regular pencil and a rubber band. At first, it took me a few tries to get the right shape of my hand, and judging how long each finger needed to be was a little hard too.

The elements of art I used were lines (obviously). I added little details on my fingers where there were lines on my literal hand and I made a little thickness on my jewelry to show that I was wearing it and it wasn't just sitting there on my hand.

At first, I thought my hand wasn't too bad, but now that I'm looking at it again, I see that some of my fingers are oddly skinny, even though I do have very skinny small hands; it just looks awkward in this drawing though. I would've made my literal hand, the top of my palm, probably bigger somehow, and my thumb just looks odd too. I don't think my drawing came out horrible, but it could definitely be better.
