Due: next week
Emotive Self Portraits
You are to pick two of the eight self-portrait drawings options
below; make a self-portrait for each of your choices, with each drawing
affecting some human facial reactions:
Surprise
Fear
Skepticism
Shame
Excitement
Anger
Disdain
Disgust
Be as melodramatic as possible. Subtlety is great, but for
drawings like this to work they need a theatrical quality. Each drawing
must be meticulously finished from observation only. This means you may
not work from photos or any other 2 dimensional references, and you must be
sure that you draw as anatomically accurate as you are able. To do this
you must spend hours in front of your mirror at home studying your face in
different poses. Leave any self-consciousness at the door. Each
drawing should fill a page in your sketchbook. Good
luck.
