Final Self Portrait
Paint Marker, Colored Pencil, Computer Graphics.
1. I selected these inspiration pieces because They caught my attention. I wanted variety and emphasis in my self-portrait. I also wanted it to be different shades of one color.
2. I selected colored pencils, paint marker, and the computer because these things were readily available to be and would help me achieve the style of portrait I was thinking of.
3. The only challenge I faced creating my self portrait was when the library closed and I needed a mac to complete the first part of my self portrait.
4. This piece represents me because it is taken in a coffee shop, representative of my social side, It uses multiple medias, representing my various styles and diversity. I am wearing my glasses to represent the 'student' side of me. I wanted to add variety to my self portrait like the 'eating a banana' portrait, so I chose coffee, perfect for my lifestyle of up-all-night studying lately! I added the headband to my self portrait in part because I messed up my forehead making myself look bald, and in part because it represents my style and 'free-spirited' personality.
5. I used emphasis with my face being closest in the portrait. I used variety with the iced coffee,and I used color by making the whole portrait different shades of one color.
6. I enjoyed working on this project, and I've never used these materials together before so it was fun to explore new techniques.
7. I think my final artwork turned out okay, it didn't turn out as abstract as I had in mind but I'm okay with the turns it took as I worked on it.
