SELF PORTRAIT

Following on from my charcoal, I decided to have a go at a self portrait. This time though i decided to use a photo and later a mirror to help finish off. I tried to add some depth by blurring and softening certain parts of the portrait i.e. knocking them back into the distance and then emphazising other areas and bringing them forward. With a few more wrinkles this time round, each portrait is taking longer.
