Back to the drawing board!

Had a tutorial after a week of faffing about with drawing faces and cutting up pieces of texts...


Turns out they really liked the drawing above, which is supposed to be me but I did it without looking at the paper, so I am to carry on drawing portraits. The aim is for 100 by Mon 11th. 

These are some more self portraits using different techniques...

 (scratching the shaded parts of my face into oil bar)

(not looking at the paper with silver pen)

(picking out details using basic lines - felt tip)

(half face emerging from page, charcoal pencil. This is an accidental illusion as well if you can spot the profile)

(over laying features of the face using mono printing)

(emerging face using mono printing)

(not looking at paper with arm stretched out to limit control - biro, pencil + oil pastel)
