Hand Painting

          For the Hand Paintings project we had to first draw a selected shape of our hand in our sketchbook and then over that draw our selected animal over that hand.  Once this was completed we showed the rest of the class our drawings and then painted the animal on our hands.  I had to hold my hand in a very uncomfortable position for an entire hour until I finshed painting.  Even though there was discomfort I did enjoy this project and had lots of fun.  The end result was better than I had expected but left room for improvments.  For example if you look at the picture included then you'll see there is still skin shoeing at the top and I don't belive that the painting as is realistic as I would like it to be.            
           The project went smoothly without any problems, I did exactly what I wanted to do since day one.  However if I did this project again I would probably select something without fur so that I don't sit there drawing hair the entire time.   Drawing the eye and having to hold my hand in that position for an hour were probably the hardest parts of the project.  Doing this project helped me learn about how to pain on skin,  how to draw insects, and how to have some fun on a bad day.
