Severed Sheep

Hey all! I know what you're thinking, and no, they aren't actually severed sheep. However, I did decide to put a creative twist on this animal! This design was inspired by the cartoon short Shaun the Sheep.

Left hand first:

I started with the heads of the sheep. First I painted white half-ovals on the tips of my nails. Then, taking a droplet of black nail polish and a needle, I outlined the sheep and created the head (somewhat based off of Shaun the Sheep). I didn't completely make the full head. Instead, I left the bottom half of the jaw off.

This is why:

The bottom half of the jaw continued onto my right nails, opposite the left hand. To make the bodies of the sheep, I took the same types of steps as I did for the heads. I painted the white half-ovals and outlined them with black. Then I drew the four legs. The part after got a little tricky. I had to wait a bit for the nail polish to dry, then I sort of estimated where the heads were on my left hand and created the jaw so that the two would line up when the nails were put together.

Finished product:

People seemed to really enjoy this design, and I absolutely love how it turned out! It was one of my more creative designs, and I was so happy that the jaws lined up almost perfectly with the heads on the opposite hand after eyeballing where they should be placed.

Thanks so much for reading!
