Artist's Comments

I drew this for my Drawing II class at UNT. We were supposed to take something familiar and place an unfamiliar texture on it. So I put a melted wax texture on a hand. It was supposed to make someone feel uncomfortable to look at it. It made -me- feel uncomfortable, at least. But it has some kind of quality I like to look at.

Crit, please, I wanna know what you think!

Created with vine charcoal, compressed charcoal, kneaded eraser, and toilet paper (for blending!), using the additive-reductive method.

Hmm, I really don't see it melting, but the hand looks great. ^^ personally i find hands to be a very hard thing to draw. :/

Yeah, it's more of a drip thing, really, very very slow melting. Thank you so much! Hands really are one of the hardest things to draw.

The hand looks good except the pinky looks like it's too spread out from the other fingers. I think it's pretty awesome though. Cool idea about the melting wax on hand.
