Self portraits

In class we are working on stylized self portraits of ourselves. We sketched ourselves on a large piece of paper then outlined it with sharpie. Now i am in the process of deciding what custom color i want to use for my big painting. Its such a hard decision because there are so many colors. I really like this project and i am very eager to come to class everyday and work on it. I love the way the portraits look rafter they've been inked and colored in with colored pencils. I like how the painting isn't such a big deal because we are almost destroying our work purposely to make it into something almost scary and haunting.  Above is one of my practice paintings. I decided on a very dark brown to use as my color. I have not worked into it yet with colored pencil. I really enjoy working on this portrait.
