Self portrait painting/drawing:
I selected my inspiration pieces because they were artworks that aren't your typical self portrait. The artists added a twist to it whether its color, expression or setting. I used watercolor, pencil and marker for my self portrait because I wanted to really express how creative I am through this self portrait. I really haven't drawn in a while and that was my biggest challenge. I'm a perfectionist so I would work on a painting for months if I could. This piece represents me because it portrays how I am a simple, laid back person, but with the use of color I expressed my creative side. I applied color, line and unity in my work. I enjoyed looking through many self portraits for inspiration but I don't really like my final artwork that much. I would love to fix it and perfect it over time to make something really awesome.
