Self portrait

In this assignment we had to draw ourselves. The title of this piece is "Brett". I created a portrait. I used the following mediums to create my work, graphite pencil, colored pencil, marker, and charcoal. Some of the art-making techniques I used are: shading, drawing, outlining, and filling. I used the following elements of art in my artwork: color, line, shape, texture, space, and value. To add interest to my composition, I used these principles of design: contrast, balance, and emphasis. This artwork is about my physical features. This completed work makes me feel calm. By creating this project I learned that I need to add more detail. In future pieces of art I may try shading better to improve. I added my own original style by making the background orange.
