Melonhead Amy; Art Blogging.: Hand Sketches!

I`m still working on not letting myself get bored, and the teachers are still refusing to give me the next exam theme for the next project... which means that I`m still extremely bored.

I`m literally running out of things to draw for my project, I don`t want to draw people or faces but that`s what the teachers keep on suggesting to me to do. I`ve now done 8 dry point prints and I`m running out of stuff that I can draw from for my project. My teachers where just convinced that it should be body parts, which then made me link my sketches back to my final piece (which has been finished, I just need to send all of the pictures over to my laptop so I can update).

The only other things could think of possibly drawing that would link to my theme would be hands holding pills or eyes of some sorts. I`m still not

sure about drawings eyes and stuff, but the past few days I`ve been trying to draw hands or at least try to draw hands.

I`ve never actually drawn hands before, I was completely put off by the fact that every time I`ve even attempted to draw one in the past it`s turned into a balloon with stumpy, little, stubby fingers. I`m getting quite bored of this project now, if anyone knows me by now then you`ll realize why; when the work load dies down and I`m left with only a few things left to do or I just have to focus on one kind of drawing, then my mind just gets bored, I can`t focus properly and I need something new to try and do. Which is basically what`s happening now, but quite badly, I must of spent about 2 hours yesterday just sat on a computer looking through other peoples works on Deviantart and trying to find some sort of inspiration... but I found nothing at

all. It`s been a bit of a drag, I've now done three of my university interviews, have another one coming up on Wednesday and one that I need to cancel since I no longer need a foundation year in art.

So right now, I have to prepare for one more interview, and I need to bulk up my coursework load and get some more experimentation done. By now, you would of thought that I`d have enough done, obviously I don`t blog about every little bit of work that I make, but right now I have a huge portfolio for this project and I`m getting rather sick of looking at pills, hands, faces, masks and pill packets.

If anyone else has any ideas as to something I can draw or include in some form of drawing and experimentation, that links to mental

health and is most probably something I haven`t done yet, please feel free to get in touch! I`ve only got another two weeks left for this project but I can`t just stop working completely for those two weeks and really I should be spewing out a lot more work in this time since I`ve got no distractions.

These hands are only small sketches that I`ve done; The first one is just a basic fineliner drawings, the second is a wash of brown watercolour paint with a pencil drawings over the top, the third one has a wash of green watercolour paint and a drawing over the top and the last one has a wash of blue watercolour paint and then a fineliner sketch over the top... So it`s all just basic stuff really, I just need to find something new to do!
