Chiaroscuro Self Portrait!

ANNA BRUCE  GOLD SEAL! TOP 10% IN TEXAS 2017

Keep in mind, if you use a black background, it will require a lot of work to make it black. Black mat board with a white pencil is one choice. Or use a white background.

Create a high contrast self-portrait from observation. Choose a unique light source AND expression to create interesting values and shadows in your drawing.
