Last Weeks

In the last couple of weeks I have been working on several different projects. Here are a couple of self portraits I have recently completed.

This one focuses on what goes on in our heads (well at least mine). I can give you a long winded explanation for it, but it is too long for me to write down know. The tricky part of this was the background. I spent upwards of 5 hours on the background alone. There is at least 6 layers of graphite on there. If your rub the background, your hand wont get smudged. That's how many layers are on this thing.

Right now I'm trying to come up with a title for this series of portraits. This series focuses on the discovery of something, and potential recovery. With this series, I had the most fun drawing the hair. It's spontaneity drew me in.
