1.Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
I selected these inspiration pieces because they focus on just the bust of the person. I like the etching and scribble effect of the drawings also.
Original Photo
My self portrait done in pencil
2. Why did you select the media to create your self portrait?
I like working with pencil and I wanted to do a scribble drawing I felt it best gave the effect I wanted.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self portrait and how did you overcome them?
I had to decide what technique to use to send the message I wanted, that was the toughest part. I knew I wanted to use pencil because I like to draw things realistic. To answer the question what effect I was going for go to question 4.
4. How does this piece represent me?
I am always smiling but sometimes my life is a mess, thats where the scribbles came into play. I like scribble drawings. In this photo my hair is carefee and wispy like my personality, I go with the flow.
5. What elements and principles of design did you apply to this work?
There is a pattern and texture with all of the scribbles. Symmetry and balance mostly because faces are already symmetrical.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
I really enjoyed working on this project. I love an excuse to draw.
7. What did you think of your final artwork?
I thought it was pretty good. I am usually a perfectionist and thats why I can never finish anything but I have to turn this one in on a deadline and I only had a week to make it so I think it came out pretty good.
