Self Portrait

Artist Statement

Describe: The subject of my piece is myself :) I used charcoal, pencil, and a tiny eraser. I chose to do this specific picture because I thought it had good lighting. I used line and value.

Analyze: I used silhouette lighting and framing in my piece. I evolved because I kept adding shadows and more white highlights to the hair.

Evaluate: The story behind it is that one day I had to choose a picture of myself to draw and in art class I had to awkwardly hold up the laptop and take a laptop selfie to draw. It relates to my life because it's me. I think it could be stronger if I did more detail on the hands and knuckles because I'm not too good at making hands.
