Self Portrait

In Art for the last month we have been working on realistic drawing. The latest project we did that was realistic was self portraits. I did enjoy the project for the most part even though I struggle with realism. I think it was the best realism project I have done yet though even though it was not perfect.

The materials that I used to make this were mainly H and B pencils, charcoal, and a little bit of ink. The reason, I used these is that I was required to use any of these for the assignment. I tried to get a good base down of white charcoal and black charcoal. I then had to blend it in. I think I could have used the ink more effectively by adding it in the hair more.

My favorite thing about this project was my hair because I just feel that it came out the best out of everything it is also because I spent the most time working on it trying to get it right. The thing that I think I could have done better were the eyelashes and mouth because I feel I just kind of sped over them and did not give them enough time and effort. But overall I think it came out great and I am proud of it
