Due: next week
Emotive Self Portraits Redux
You are to pick two different self-portrait drawing options from
the two you picked last week. Make a self-portrait
for each of your new choices, with each drawing affecting a human facial
reaction:
Surprise
Fear
Skepticism
Shame
Excitement
Anger
Disgust
Disdain
Remember, 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. It must also
fully develop elements of light and shadow. 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.
