These are all images of my self-portraits that I made for my Foundations Drawing II class. For the first six images, I had to make at least 12 images that were either of me, or represented me! I then had to put a piece of text along with each image, so the book would serve as a sort of autobiography. As the images show, the book can completely stretch out so you can see all of the images, or you can open the book from cover to cover, then keep turning pages once you reach the back cover. This was my favorite project for the semester, because we could use any media we wanted, and we could draw pretty much whatever we wanted as well. I used colored pencils, soft pastels, pen and ink, paint, sharpies, oil pastels, and then photographs once I extended the book. Originally, I just made 12 images, then for my Positive Psychology final, I researched self-concept, so I decided to extend the book. Every page along with the text has some text from the Bible, because my faith is a huge part of my life.
The final image in this post is another self-portrait that I had to make. We could use any non-colored media, so I decided to experiment with watered-down ink. This was a very long, unforgiving process, but overall, I really like how it turned out considering the medium, and a bonus is it actually looks like me! This is also the first self-portrait that I have ever made by looking into a mirror instead at a photograph, so there was just a lot of experimenting with this piece.
