The process for this piece was taking a picture of me, distorting it using photoshop and then transferring the image to a piece of masonite. I then took soft pastels and shaded the face and came up with the background color. Other mediums used was charcoal and india ink to give more emphasis in the picture. I think that this is a good piece, but it is not one of my favorites. I feel that maybe a different medium could have helped this project out. This is also not my style and was a huge risk for me as an artist. I am proud for following through with this project, but i think i am going to have to let it grow on me.
