Week 15 / Self Portrait / Art Gallery Visit

The inspiration pieces comes from the online gallery by Claire Casseb

Casseb's online art gallery consists of contemporary pop art and photorealism

I selected pencil / color pencil as my media because they will help define the different hues and colors throughout the portrait I have selected to recreate. The self portrait I chose is a picture of my mom and I.    Challenges I faced while creating my portrait include: making the piece seem realistic and visually appealing, and my own artistic skills challenging me in general. The piece resembles somewhat of a similarity to myself, although I'm sure anyone would fine my piece to be interesting. Elements and principles of art used in my piece include: Line, Color, Tone & Value. 
I did enjoy working on this project and really enjoyed researching online art galleries! I definitely think my piece could use a little bit more work, but hey, I'm just a beginner!
