Title:Not to be trusted
This piece depicts a finger the finger is very close up and there is red blood dripping from the bottom of this piece. The most obvious element is the finger crossed. I used a red values to make the blood color in the piece and look realistic. I used details in the hand to move the viewer's eye around the piece.
This piece was created using pencil & shading. I used heavy pressure blends in the hand. I also used shading to add detailed lines in and a blending stump to add the lines and details, especially in the cut part of the fingers.

My goal as an artist with this piece was to create realism and a details. Pastels are rather large on the ends and therefore hard to get into small area. I wanted to challenge myself to find a way to get those details with the pencil. I think I accomplished my goal by trying a variety of techniques and finally settling on the blending stumps to help get into the small areas. I feel my final piece is realistic.
Overall, this piece turned out as I imagined. It is realistic and looks like pencil shading which was my intent. This piece will influence my future works in trying unconventional tools to achieve the results I want like I did with the blending stumps. I will use this once an a blue moon in the future as well because I am happy with the end result.
