Makayla's+Zentangled+Hands

The first time you had me draw a hand, I sat and stared at my hand...I'm not a very good artist and I thought that it would be impossible. I had a huge urge to trace my hand and put in the wrinkles. I managed to not do that and I drew what I had thought was a good hand. After learning how to draw it the way I know now, it sure does look pathetic. I never would have thought that I'd be able to draw such a great hand.

Some of the struggles I faced where that I'm not a very strong writer, so I had to overcome that fact and trust myself to draw a good hand. I finally became satisfied with my drawings and I outlined it in black sharpie. My second problem was that I had no idea what to Zentangle! I ran out of options fast, so I finally started doodling and it turned out too look pretty cool. Of course, when I get an art project looking cool, something has to go wrong! My kitten ripped my drawing so I had to tape in back together.

Overall, I really like my project. I've never looked down at a drawing of mine and really thought that it looked good. I not only think it looks good, but I had a really fun time. I'm so happy with the way it turned out, that I think I might put it out at my Open House. Even though that's a few years away! :) I was really happy with the way my project had turned out.
