Purpose: To determine where values change when light moves over an uneven surface by using a range of values to paint the different values in a realistic, monochromatic self-portrait;
To effectively communicate an image that looks like you through careful examination of the values and structure of your face.
Painting facial features requires a lot of skill. It is necessary to understand the proportions of the face to paint them. When painting the eyes, value is very important to make the eyes look shiny. You also need to notice the shadows. Shadows will make the self portrait look more realistic, especially in places where the drawing or painting looks 3D.
