Cardboard self portrait

Media - Cardboard self portrait

- i printed a picture of myself and glued it onto the piece of cardboard
- i then ripped the paper off the top of the surface to reveal the texture underneath while still leaving some of the paper on top
- i then used white and black charcoal on the picture to give a more dramatic darker feel to the face making it stand out more
- then i blended the white and black charcoal into the background and pulled more paper off to reveal sections of brown surrounded by the charcoal
- then i went in with color where there were spaces between the black and white and blended the color in various areas to add more contrast
