M.C. Escher's "Drawing Hands" recreation

Featured Replies

This is my first piece of artwork posted at the Gallery. Cool! :D

 

 

 

I was assigned a research paper in my Drawing class, and I decided to do M.C. Escher. Part of the assignment was to recreate the piece, so I drew one of the hands in detail. The assignment in total was: a paper on M.C. Escher and the drawing itself, a recreation of the drawing, and an oral presentation on both the paper and the recreation. My class seemed to be impressed with the recreation (even though my oral presentation of the report was mediocre). I'll tell you all my grade once I get it.

 

 

 

Overall, I thought I did an okay job on the drawing. The veins look slightly awkward and the knuckles didn't come out too good, but I think it's pretty good overall. Please comment, rate, leave constructive criticism, etc. Do your thing, and be honest. Hope you like it! :)

Nice work. I have did some similar drawings as well. to make it more challenging you should try to draw your own hand. :)

^ If I did that the drawing would turn out to be crap. :(

heh I've drawn my own hand before...

 

 

 

 

 

... it was the one I was drawing with. :lol: (I was bored).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as the drawing goes, I like it. Great shading on the hand. It's a bit of an odd angle but looks fine to me.

 

 

 

 

 

Good job, why haven't we seen more drawings from you on here?

awsome drawing, i drew my hand once...and it was then made into a tureky! that teacher was magic...lol, but good work, thats awsome, look forward to c'n more works from u

I've never really taken the time to post here. I also just started getting into drawing and art, so yeah. That might be it. :P

 

 

 

Oh and BTW, it looks pretty cool if you guys look at the hand from a distance.

Id say you painted it very well. =D>

 

 

 

Also love the original piece!

No more rates? I'll let it die if I must, but I wanted feedback. :(

not bad, but some of you're areas need work

 

ESPECIALLY the sleeves area.

 

 

 

your perspective also looks distorted.

For a recreation of the original work, you did a good job at capturing the shading.

 

 

 

However, I'm wondering what the educational benefit of "copying" artwork is, I would think a better assignment would be to create artwork in the same style, not just copying the exact same thing.

^ It is in the same style, isn't it?

 

 

 

LP: Thanks. I thought perspective was one of my weak points on this piece. But you didn't like the sleeves? I thought they were supposed to be a rough contour? You know, 2D progressing to 3D?

 

 

 

Overall, I'd say I did an okay job, but it's definitely not my best. More to come!

^ It is in the same style, isn't it?

 

 

 

 

Yes but also the same exact object, same style would be similar shading but completely different object, such as a foot, object, or just something that would not classify as a copy. This would in turn really use your ability to draw something new under a given style. :)

We're studying value right now, so we're doing lots of work on that anyway.
