double face drawing

i drew myself of pictures taken of me

sketch of self portrait

i traced my printed picture onto another paper with carbon paper. i had to be very careful as the carbonpaper could unallign easily and the lines would not match if it were to shift in the middle of tracing

darkening of self portrait

i used a permanent marker to colour in the shadows in my traced picture to show to contrasting colours for the next  step. as the marker was thicker than the lines, i had to trace carefully 

wax 

i used bluescreen wax to make this portrait. as people are constantly walking in and out of the dark room i had to ensure it wasnt going to be greatly affected

1st print

using the wax portrait i printed my face onto a peice of paper. however,  it was not properly printed and the eyes were not completely coloured

2nd print

a retry with red ink with same problem

1st draft

painting myself with frida kahlo's artwork as my reference. it was hard to do it as the face has both front and side view which makes it odd to paint

          2nd draft

painted my face it was difficult to achieve the skin tone and lip tone. am not glad with the results

final piece

painted the butterfly in
