This is a large painting done using unconventional methods... The assignment given by my professor was to take an object not normally used to make art, dip it in watered-down acrylic paint (?), and then draw with it.

So I took the apartment key out of my pocket and went all-out. :dummy:

It actually turned out super awesome, considering that there was no pencil sketch beforehand. I screwed up in places but managed to cover it up by gouging and darkening certain areas.

I was thinking of the title "Skeleton Key" because I'm super uncreative. But decided against it.

The reference skeleton is named Zelda, apparently. She has a last name, too, but nobody seems to know it. (Is it just me, or do all art skeletons seem to be female? Why is this? I prefer drawing men. XD)

Dimensions: 18x24-ish
Medium: Acrylic-ish

Pardon the quality. Had to photograph this one.

Note: This is remarkably popular for some reason and I honestly have no idea why. X'D I wasn't even going to post it. Maybe I shouldn't second-guess myself so often when I want to upload something to this site...

I'm glad you like it! It was definitely a challenge, since erasing wasn't an option.

I think this turned out pretty darn awesome, plus I think skellymens are a pain to draw >.>;;;
And really? All female? I've mainly met male ones :U
I also had a fear of reference skeletons when I was little and we had one in our classroom.

Yeah, every reference skeleton I've seen has cartilage on their pelvis. I think that this is a sign that it's a female. But I could be horribly wrong. X'D

Skellymens are so much fun to draw! More so than random pots and buckets. I hate my drawing class. X'D

This is epic! What a creative and unusual way to educate students on the limitlessness of art. This turned out very impressive, for using nontraditional tools! Bravo :)

Thank you! I can't say it's the assignment that I particularly enjoyed; for me, it's all about subject matter. He had us drawing a lamp before he pulled out the skeleton, and lemme tell ya... I didn't try at all to make it look good. XD

Haha, that's awesome! And you painted this with a key? You continue to amaze me!

Hey, your right! At least you can draw something that's female! Skeletons!

I've successfully drawn a female! This is happening more and more often. I'm proud of myself. XD
