graphite on pastel paper

for this project we had to create some sort of silhouette of something for our value strip using graphite, thin we had to create another self portrait and the last self portrait to see if we have improve at all since the first one that we didd, and i can tell you that mine looked terrible and i still think that this looks pretty bad but it definitely looks a heck of a lot better than what it used to because i took more time and i used the graphing technique to go square by square being able to see and create detail better.

i used all graphite pencil, bristol board paper and and 2 eraser caps

when i say this i think i can speak for myself and everyone else, even the people that don't do art, everyone hates doing self portraits, i think that ever since the first self portrait that i had to do in k-8 i had always done so bad and even still now but i can definitely see that i have improved on my skill and wanting to make art but definitely lost all hope for self portraits
