Self Portrait


Graphite and Gouache.
This is second transfer from the rough sketch using a light board. Instead of blending to create value I left my pencil marks simplistic and open because I thought it would contrast well with the abstract gouache background.


This was the first transfer from rough sketch which initially the subject was going to be colored in warm colored pastels and the background in cool colors but I scrapped it.
