Realistic Self-Portrait

Self Portrait*What is the main idea that guided your artwork? (What are you trying to say or figure out with your work?
)i used what i had learned from the last self portrait that we did and

*How was the work made? (What SPECIFIC materials did you use?)
i used graphite on pastel paper and used a printed out photo of me in black and white and i gridded both the pastel paper and the photo and drew what i saw section by section.

*What processes did you go through between your idea and your finished piece? Did you research, practice, revise, experiment, etc.” It is NOT about how you physically made your artwork.
i used what i learned from the first self portrait that we did and applied it to this.
