During this project, we were supposed to draw a self portraits, a.k.a the most terrifying thing for an artist. We had to start with a grid, and take a picture of ourselves. Then we placed a grid over the picture, and had to draw the portions of the face depending on that corresponding square. Eventually, I ended up giving up on the grid, and decided to just go based on what I already knew about making portraits, so I consider that trying something new. Now that I look at it, I shouldn't have been scared of adding shadows. It would have looked a lot better if I had added more, making it look more three dimensional, but I worried that it'd look dirty. The hair as well. But overall for a first self portrait, I'm proud of how it turned out.
