This was an inclass assignment where we had to incorperate different colors to represent different shades and body tones. Because we only had to use the face in the portrait, i decided to chose someone with a lot of detail. When I was looking online for an image to use, I came across this guy with an awesome beard. Once I saw that beard, I just said to myself "yes".
This portait was done on a 12" by 14" piece of paper with oil pastel. The colors used were purple, green, lime green, red, blue, black, and white. |
