SELF PORTRAITS

Ben Farren

Joy Montague
Last night the class made self portraits. Again the drawings were started by copying a skull projected on the screen. The skull drawing was then reworked with the portrait drawn over the top. Ben's drawing is a stylized illustration complete with reverse quote on his t-shirt. The real beauty of the drawing is the manner in which he has drawn the hair. It appears as a solid mass with overlapping light and dark accents.
Joy's drawing is very well proportioned to the page. The advancing and receding planes are very well defined. In addition, the features address all the key elements discussed in class; curvature of eyes and mouth, darkness of upper lip, etc.
