For this project we had to come up with a word and a question and make a piece involving that question. I chose to do 'what do we find traditionally beautiful.' I then decided to draw three different hands each with a different ethnicity and different tattoos. I have been obsessed with tattoos for a while and wanted to try and draw them. Also I really like drawing hands, and I think I'm pretty decent at drawing them, which is why I chose draw hands with tattoos on them. I figured that the first one would be Caucasian with traditional tattoos. The second would be Indian with a henna tattoo. The third and final would be African with tribal tattoos. I did this on illustration board and it took me about two weeks. I did a sketch for each hand and then had to draw each hand on the illustration board. After that I painted each hand and then when it was dry I went over the tattoos with ink. Then I painted the background of each hand. Overall I'm really happy with how this piece turned out. It's one of my favorites that I've done so far.
