Since I have been working on my Independent study I haven't finished my figure study, I decided to do something different than my eyeball. This is from a photo, the highlights of the face and things are going to be newspaper and the background is going to be all graphite pencil. I wanted to use a different media so this is kind of a experimental piece. I hope it turns out the way I would like it to.

This is a continuing portion of my self portrait. Coming to realize that making things come to life is harder then it seems, with this I have tried to smooth out the hair and eyes, but I have yet to textural the hair. This is my 1 of 2 self portraits that I will be doing.

For a couple of weeks now, I have been working on my independent study. This is still going to be 3 self portraits out of different medias. Now getting deeper into this projects process I think these 3 different medias are going to be symbolic of different things in my life. I am on my clay peice, the base and body of this is all made out of coils of about 1 inch in diameter, after that process of slipping and scoring the coils, i smoothed out the sides to form more of a body. Right now I am working on structure of the face, and getting all of the proportions correct.

         

This is a photograph/ Pic-stitch of my value study project I had did over break and also made out of graphite pencil. It took me about 2 hours, I need some help with the background, i'm not sure what I want to do with it. So any suggestions let me know. This is a Little still life i had set up at my house, the rocks created a texture to the photo, and the candles are in glass containers, and the thing in the middle is some form of jar, but held very nice reflections.
