15 Weekly Self- Portraits

Self- Portraits
Mixed Media
August- December 2013

Besides doing illustrations this past semester, I did a weekly self-portrait for the past 15 weeks for my drawing class in my sketchbook.  I used a variety of media, like charcoal, ink, crayon, and chalk pastels.  For some I toned my paper with watercolor or ink, or drew on toned paper.  Some are a lot better than others, but I have enjoyed doing these every week.  I am going to try to keep this going every week to continue to get better.

This illustration is loosely based off of the greek myth of "The Fall of Icarus".  I changed it to be a self-portrait of me, flying away in the city.
