Pure Contour

Artist Statement for Pure Contour Drawing of a Hand:

The story with this art piece was we were required to draw the details and outlines of our hands with no shading or any color, just outlines of our hands. I had to look for many details in my hand like creases in my palm and my fingers which was sometimes a challenge.

This art piece relates to my life because it a is and outline of a body park that I use everyday from keeping it relaxed to making it work it never stops working, I'm even using them right now to write this artist statement!

The process of this piece was to make a light pencil sketch, before we went in with a pencil with darker graphite. This piece was a challenge to do because of the details we had to add. The creases and the shapes of my hand are definitely hard to mimic on paper.
