Three Dimensional Contour
Start with a four feet length of annealed iron wire or other easily bended wire (copper, aluminum) whose gauge is between 18 and 10. Using a pair of needle nose pliers, bend the wire to approximate a flying (continuous line) contour drawing of your hand.
Similarly, using a a ten foot length, make a self (more or less) portrait
head. Feel free to join additional lengths if necessary or desirable
for hair, hat, ears or other details. Remember, not everything has to make
sense from every angle.
