Self-Portrait (Pencil)

Style and Self-Portraits

I drew this self-portrait over the course of a few days, where I experimented stylizing a sketched self-portrait. Part of the challenge with this piece involved knowing what to include and what to take away from the original photo.

I used PhotoShop to alter the original photograph, before using a grid to create a contour drawing of the picture. This piece represents my growing attempt at integrating patience into my work.

The Plan

My goal with this piece was to spend at least 10 hours on it, in an effort to slow down my process and work on the details.
