A0 Self Portrait Finished!
Finial, Finished. I'm actually quite happy with the outcome. Although I think it doesn't really look like me, everybody else disagrees. Definitely, my favourite part has to be... the tartan shirt. :)
Any suggestions on how it could be improved...?

A0 Fine Art Self Portrait
Started of by framing a piece of A0 paper with masking tape to give myself a clean border when i finish. I then Create my Grid with 2cm x 2cm squares. Quickly, I sketch out the frame of my face and map out where the facial features will be and light and dark tones.


Using soft black charcole, I get down the ground for my portrait.
It begins to come together by gently adding the facial features and using a rubber to create marks travelling in the right direction, this give the sense of shape and structure.
Done, Well I just need to do the shirt. :)
