Optical Illusion Hand




I came across this picture on pinterest awhile ago.  I thought it looked pretty cool. So, I outlined my left arm/forearm.





This idea was from a 5th grade art class.  Since I always liked fifth grade art, I gave her a whirl.





I hadn’t worked with markers since my Left vs. Right post and I was missing them!





I would probably give myself a “C” for this drawing.  I did not capture the optical illusion like all the other 10 year olds.  I kept having to go back and erase my lines.  I don’t know why I had so much trouble with this.





Markers for the body….watercolor pencils for the background.  I’d like to do more with this…but I’m drawing a blank!  Haha

  4. it doesnt look quite the same because you kept the original outline of your forearm. That should be super light(and rubbed out at the end) , and then it looks like your arm is under a sheet or something. Love the colour !!

  5. Haha...thanks Jo.....After I drew the outline to the arm/hand I realized I shouldn't have drawn a line! Ah well....funny I'm not as perceptive as I thought! Haha

    Glad you like the color...me too :D
