pastel, colored pencil, highlighter, on biology class notes. Our teacher asked us to get a collection of materials to make our paper. I had a bunch of notes left over from a diseases of life class that I thought would be fun to use. Since the notes were about disease I thought someone with a disease going through the notes, highlighting, and trying to find a cure would be an interesting subject. My friend climbed up on the desk to take the reference photo. First I sketched out the hands and highlighter. After that I had to figure out which materials to use where and test how they interacted. They all worked well together-except for the pencil lead and the colored pencil which lead to muddiness on and around the fingers.
