pixelated portrait

Ideas that are evident in my work are that I wanted to include one of billies trademarks that people can recognize her from. The way I did this was I drew half of her face and made sure to include her famous green hair. Another idea thats evident in my work is that I wanted her to be the main point so I chose a picture where the background was black. This project relates to my life because Billie Eilish is someone I look up too and I like what she stands for.

The materials I used to make my pixelated portrait were oil pastels, light pencils, ruler, tape, and a tortillion to blend the oil pastel.

the process I used was I started from the top left corner and just went row by row. Another process I used was using two different tortilions to blend the oil pastel, I used one to blend the dark squares and one to blend the lighter squares like her skin. my project evolved as I started to finish her green hair and started blending her face and the different skin tones. My next steps could have to maybe do less drawing and more blending so one square is all one color so it can look more pixelated.
