Assignment #10: Emotive Self Portraits

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.
