For my Head and Hands 1 Class, 1997. Not the most flattering
portrait I've ever done, but unflinchingly accurate. This was really
a very fun process - I started by drawing directly over my reflection
on the mirror, using a dry-erase marker. Then I copied that line onto
the pastel paper, and carefully used the colored pencils to work in
the cross-contours, checking the mirror every few minutes. If you think this is fun, I had to do muscle and skeletal overlays on vellum, too! (Ooh, now that's attractive!) I got an "A" in the class, though. |
