Doppleganger – Molly

For my doppleganger project, I decided to recreate my hand. I’ve always been fascinated by hands and thought it’d be a challenging and fun object to try to copy. I started by making the fingers. I figured they’d be modified cylinders with some added shapes to help add a natural bend. I then added stitching to the knuckles to mimic the wrinkles I have.

After I finished the fingers, I started the palm. I drew lines on my hand that I tried to mimic with the pattern. You can see the side by side comparison.

I wasn’t able to finish in time for the critique, but as people passed it around, they said they preferred the unfinished look as they thought that it would look too much like a severed hand if it had been finished. I ultimately agreed with them and decided to leave it open.
