Charcoal Self Portrait





This was the charcoal self portrait. We started off by setting up mirrors in front of us. This took about 3 days to do. First we got 12 x 18 inch manilla paper. We created a "ruler" down the center of the page 10 inches long and made tick marks for every inch. Using facial proportions, I found where the eyes, mouth, and hairline are. Also, the nose ends roughly around the lateral of the earlobe. Using these proportions, I started drawing my face based on my reflection. This does not actually look like me, as it is adult proportions.
