Remember that you used your non-photo blue pencil to draw the head and torso and then eight different classmates each had one minute to draw an arm and hand, holding things I asked for, (among them were a severed head, (which some misheard as “severed hand’— ) and then I asked you to draw two more and hands holding whatever was missing from the scene.
Then I asked you to do an outline of this beast with your uniball pen and remember your frame. I asked you to try to complete the outline in 20 minutes while I read you two Grimms Fairytales: ‘The Three Journeymen’ and ‘The Prince Who Had No Fear’.
After that was done we got out our watercolor kits started painting, finishing by painting a solid background using a Chinese brush and black sumi ink. Nearsighted Monkley
