Realistic Self-Portraiit

The main idea that guided my self-portrait was replicating a photo of myself using the gridding method. I attempted to make is as realistic as I could. For this project I used graphite on pastel paper. Something I found a new love for when making this peace was using a kneaded eraser, it is so useful and fun to play with. The proses in witch I did this was using the grid pattern, I did the basic shape of each of the squares, then I went and shaded them square by square.
