*What was the assignment (include concept/idea)?
The assignment was to create a drawing that included traced materials. Instead of using objects, I used my hand.

*What were the important steps, techniques, and or materials used to make this?
1) I traced my hand over and over again in pencil (because marker would leave a mark on my skin :).
2) I retraced the pencil lines with a black marker.
3) With the shapes that formed, I used different colors to shade in the spaces.
3.5) I added a reddish-yellowish color scheme to the middle, the colors kind of form a circle of red/yellow.
4) I tried to space the colors out so that two of the same colors wouldn't touch each other.
5) I added some black sharpie to the black markers to create an even darker black shade.

*What was your inspiration?
My inspiration was the hand and the shape it can form when its outline overlapped another hand. One hand with five fingers could make multiple shapes that are able to be colored.

*What did you learn/ what would you do differently next time?
I learned that next time I could try to make this through photoshop. I also understood that the markers created a very clean look that I could use more often in some cases.
