Self Portrait, 24x36” Lrg - Charcoal or Pencil
This art drawing was very similar to my previous one because it is a self portrait. The different qualities that this drawing has is the material that I chose to use. For this drawing, I used charcoal on the bottom and then I finished everything off by making fine lines with my color pencils and added a few dark touches to the drawing. I drew all of this on a large piece of paper.
The hardest parts were to color over the thick areas of the charcoal because it would either scratch off or fade in with each other. The easiest parts were drawing in pencil and shading with charcoal.
When I work with both charcoal and pencil, I am reminded that I can both shade and color in. I begin a piece by making a back drop and drawing my head, neck, and shoulders. I know a piece is done when I can step back and see where the light is coming from, the shading, and how the final product works. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of relief. When people see my work, I'd like them to know that it is a self portrait.
