Self Portrait

1. I chose the three portraits due to the fact that they seemed to resemble real life pictures. I was not a fan of the cartoon like portraits. I liked the black and white which inspired me to use apart of that in my self-portrait piece.

2. 2. I chose digital art, as my media since in my opinion have absolutely no artistic/drawing skill whatsoever. With digital, it allowed me to create a more unique piece.

3. 3. I was not sure which picture to choose while I was thinking of this project. I took a few pictures, however when I found the portrait of myself while I was younger; felt that no one else would choose a picture from years ago. I like doing things outside the box, and different than others.

4. 4. The piece represents my youth. Although I was young, I remember being in Florida as a kid.

5. 5. I used many colors to distort the original picture. The value of a few are also different along with emphasis to draw the viewer to the picture with a different look to each picture

6. 6. I did enjoy doing this picture. I was a little worried until I thought about creating my work by digital art due to the fact that I am quite bad with drawing.

7. 7. I like my final work very much. It is unique and believe others would enjoy it as well.
