Self Portrait (09/04/2018) 11×14 Graphite on Bristol Paper
The graphite on Bristol was inspired by my curiosity and need to experiment. My primary inspiration was to use blending and display contrast with the best of my ability, though I do also feel that I could’ve done a lot better with the contrast along the face. another thing I tried experimenting with was my usage of different pencil types to display more of an exotic piece.
