When I began this project I wasn’t sure on what artist to get
inspiration from so I decided to look for artist that are featured in
Burchfield Penny Art Center and I found a number of people that had portraits
that inspired me into how to make my own. The first artist I found was George
William Eggers in the drawing called “Portrait of an Old Woman”. Another Artist
I found interesting was Milton Rogovin his portrait was untitled but it shows a
woman with a book in her hand and if you look at her face you see tons of
emotion. Another artist I found interesting was Alexander O. Levy the portrait
is titled unknown. All of these portraits helped me decide on the media to use
in my own portrait. I chose pencil because many of the artists I saw used it
and I feel like it’s one of the easiest things to use especially when drawing.
One of the challenges I faced in creating my self portrait was drawing. I’m not
a skilled artist that could make beautiful art pieces but in the end I ended up
with a portrait I’m proud of so that’s all that matters. My portrait also has
the colors and shape of everything that represents me which makes this portrait
unique. One element that I applied to my art work was emotion. The portraits I picked
showed tons of emotion and I wanted a picture of me to show the same. Overall, I
enjoyed creating a portrait of myself and I’m happy with the result.
