Finished

I finished my paitning!!!
So, let's sum it up, it's a quite abstract self-portrait, of an anonymous head, my head-shape though, with the greatest symbols of mine, my glasses and my pony-tail hairstyle.


My camera decided to edit the photo.......
I'll have to take a better one soon, but the anonymous text is as much as I got because the mugshot didn't work, the painting would in my opinion have become way too monotone.

A classmate of mine thinks that, "(i'm) just a lazy arse that doesn't want to draw a face."
That may be what you think, but in my view it's an anonymous drawing because not many people will know me and I'll be an anonymous figure for those that are not close to me, or in my class.

I face the problem of not being able to make the text thinner, as the Anonymous, has the first 4 letters darker than the five last ones, due to my inability of using the brush. The glasses are also a bit chunky, which actually symbolizes the fact that "nobody's perfect". And that everything has it's flaws, especially me.

Progress

In case you can not see what this is, which I wont kill you for, I will try my best to explain it to you. I had made a drawing or sketch of myself on paper, which was the task, but then I realized that we had to paint it on a canvas, so I had to make my own graphite paper, take note my wrist hurts a lot, and I have resolved to typing this out with one hand. Before I then had to re-trace the basic lines so that it printed itself on the canvas.........

Just joking, I knew we had to draw on paper before tracing it with graphite paper, but nonetheless my wrist still hurts, and I am still typing this with only one hand, which would totally not explain why I am rambling and writing much more than necessary etc. etc. etc. etc.

Alright, cutting all of that, I spent most of the double period of art, making graphite paper, and did not really get to much else, which is why I am so extremely happy that we got an extension,  because in reality this painting would have had to be finished at the end of the next lesson which is basically 90 min, but thankfully we got an additional 90min

So, plans for the next lesson, start out with the paint, and follow the techniques we learnt last year, think to thick, light to dark etc.

So that means probably the skin first, in a 'light' tone, then the hair, before doing the shirt, and then the background before finishing of with the strong black glasses and the word 'anonymous' written in the corner.
