Realistic Self Portrait

Artist Statement:

The story with this art piece was we were required to take a portrait of ourselves and then grid line in and draw ourselves from each of the squares to put them together to create a portrait drawing of ourselves.

This art piece relates to my life because it is a portrait of me in black and white showing the lights and darks of my figure, and being able to draw it on paper is one of the ways I can see them.

The process of this piece was to grid line our image by inches and then drawing them lightly on a seperate white piece of paper making a border then drawing each piece of the image by each square.
