Here is my self portrait final. At first i was pretty scared to do this project because i have never done a whole lot of human portraiture. But throughout this project I feel like i have grown more comfortable with it. One thing that i learned about this is that its one thing to just draw a face and its another thing to draw a face with emotion especially if it's your own! For the right side of the face i decided to portray it more like a porcelain doll because it is supposed to represent the person that society, my peers, and even my family want me to be. Perfect with big boobs, blonde hair pink lips, small eye brows that are perfectly shaped, tan skin, and blue eyes. My dad has always wanted me to be like this, really girly and into princesses but he forgets that he raised me, i never had any female influence growing up so i kinda ended up like a Tom-boy. My dad also wanted me to play violin and listen to classical music but i play bass guitar and listen to black metal. My look i would not say is very typical of other girls my age i mean considering i have red hair, piercings, a bunch of bracelets, chokers, and i wear band shirts and ripped skinny jeans. And as i have grown up i have learned to be OK with who i am and not really care what anyone thinks i should be. So that would be what this drawing is portraying, the porcelain doll person that i've been covered with is beginning to crack as i pull the pieces off to reveal my skin underneath. There is even more symbolism in this because i decided to shade the right side of my face with blacks and whites and as you can see with the left side of m face i used a huge array of colors to shade because personally i believe that i have a very colorful personality and wanted to show that in this. I used prisma colors to draw. If i could change anything about this i would definitely try to make my side of the face much much much more realistic.
