This self portrait was pretty fun. I tried to look for something different and inspirational. This is a picture of myself and my son was he was just born. I remember this day to the fullest with every bit of detail. It was one of the most important days of my life.
I wanted to pick something that wouldn't make me give up easily and something that can motivate me to draw to my fullest potential. After I finished I felt like I could actually put this piece into a museum. It is actually hanging from a bulletin board at home, something that I can hold on to forever. I didn't know something as simple as this can remind me of such an important day.
The challenge I had was the immense amount of pressure. I overcame by this by taking lots of frequent breaks and rests. I put lots of shadow into this portrait. I was going to put color but I felt like it would ruin the moment. I am completely satisfied with this piece and didn't want to touch it any further so I just stopped here.There was a LOT of erasing!
