    I have a project for portraiture where we being in an object to cover one of our facial features, then we have our picture taken and we obviously then draw the picture. It can be any object we want. The drawings will end up pretty big and we're doing them in oil pastel, using skin based colors but not skin tones, so if you have pink tones in your sking you'll do your face using reds and pinks, if your skin is more blue and purple you use that.


    Any cool ideas I'd love to hear em thanks!

    something that represents you. if your work means something to you, you will find you get more motivated.

    that sounds awesome, yeah i'd do an object/symbol that means something special to you, this one art class we have to do a self portrait but one facial feature is coming really close to you(foreshortening)

    Good Luck

    or use something wich totally juxtaposes with you and just doesnt fit. ..... or!! ..... use something like a glas which will be transparent however will distort whats behind it :)
