Sketch

I chose these self portraits because they are either inspirational artists or men that have had a major impact on the world.  I found them inspirational because I know who they are and some background on them so they inspired me in my self portrait.  The challenges I faced are I am not the best artist but I just brushed that aside and did the best I could do.  It represents me because I am always happy and smiling so it is a great representation of my personality.  I applied shading for my hair, eyebrows, and eyes.  I used line for my hair and most of my face. I also applied balance and symmetry because I used the whole page and tried to be as symmetrical as possible.  I enjoyed creating this piece because it was fun to do and I got to be creative.  I think it is the best I could possibly do so I like the final product.
