I just finished my final Drawing 101 project, and by extension, my final piece from my first year at art school. The actual post itself goes into way more detail, but basically, it was a pastel piece we had to pick a famous work of art, overlay a black and white drawing of our hand as well as a self-portrait on top of those respective body parts in the original work, then add three objects (one rough, one shiny, and one transparent) while using "trompe-l'œil," which basically means giving the objects cast shadows to make them look like they are on top of the image rather than "inside of it," if that makes any sense.
Like I said this one is really weird and complicated so I recommend checking out the actual post if you want the full scoop.
I'm just so glad to be done with it.
