Believe it or not, this was my first self portrait. I always thought artists self portraits looked easy to draw because it is their own face, but it's actually really hard! I had to come to acceptance of my flaws: pimples, blemishes and all. The first thing i had to create with this portrait was proportion to create a realistic look of my face. After i was done drawing I used light colors to start the face. It took a long time to complete but i am proud of.

This is my leave composition. I have had fun with this piece because of the medium I got to use: paint. I love paint. It is far more versitile and powerful then pencil. I liked how I could manipulate different colors to make "sharp shades of art". I felt like my painting was very good and shadows might risk me loosing my perfection. Therefore, I do not have as many shadows as some would like however I think it is still beautiful. The boarder that I added was my own design and I thought it brought the painting together. I am very happy with this experience. |
