Double face drawing

describe my progress: This drawing was a little simple and quite fun to draw. The hard part was drawing the oval like shape of the face and diving it into two faces. It was fun drawing a cartoony self portrait.

Contour outline of self-portrait photograph

describe my progress: The outline was very simple and satisfying at the same time. I just had to try to make my portarit look like a real peron and not to cartoony 

Carbon copy of contour outline

describe my progress: This process was similar to the contour outline of self portrait the carbon copy was exactly like my outline. I had to outline again for this carbon copy and it felt easy as I was doing it the second time.

Positive and negative design of self-portrait

describe my progress: I had to use a marker not only to trace my carbon copy of contour outline, but I had to colour some white spots. I learned that I had to handle the marker differently from the pen due to its ink.

Product after silkscreen printing 

describe my progress: I had to go to the dark room to go through and extensive process of silkscreen printing.  It was tough as the dark room was very hot and I was nervous as I kept on worrying my print would be unsuccessful. I felt proud when i saw my print successfully completed when i took it out of the dark room. 

Van Gogh inspired drawing 

describe my progress: I got inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh's self portrait background and I used pencil to do a light sketch before painting. 

Painting of self portrait with almost done  Van Gogh inspired background and half done face

describe my progress: I had to mix primary colours of paint and do many trail and error to get  the perfect colour for the background and the left face. It was a challenge to paint the correct texture and I feel the colour was not bad but the texture could be improved.

describe my progress: To finish of my background, I did last touches to blend in the background colours and to ensure the paint is spread evenly. 

Finished self portrait with Van Gogh inspired background

 describe my progress: Once I finished my background, my next task was to finish my painting my face and neck. I wanted to make the two faces have different but similar colour as well as the neck. I blended colours to get a similar colour to skin and added some colours to change them. 

Finished self portrait with Van Gogh inspired background and fully outlined  face

describe my progress: After I finished all the painting, I used a marker to outline my face, neck and body. I tried to make the details more visible. 

        First print

describe my progress: To print, i poured black ink over my silkscreen printing. I had to ask my friend to help me secure my silkscreen while I poured the ink. I then spread the ink evenly across the silkscreen printing. It was so enjoyable and satisfying. When i was confident with the spreading of ink, I pressed the silkscreen printing on a piece of paper to get the print.
