Modeling the Hand in Clay

In this assignment, the hand gesture that I came up with was the "rock on." Once again, this shows the love I have for music. I thought it would be an interesting thing to do. It was rather challenging, I have never modeled a hand out of clay before. The first thing I did to start was form my palm. I then moved onto the fingers. I wanted to make sure I could get the appropriate width of my hand. Once I thought the hand was the right size, I was able to go back on work on the little details. I also ended up building a base on the bottom of my wrist to make it a little more stable from falling over. This also gave the hand a little different look of presentation in the end.
