Self-Portrait with a Visor Self-Portrait Self Portrait Drawing at A Window
1776 1887 1648
Jean Simeon Chardin Vincent van Gogh Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn
1. I selected these inspiration pieces because they were from three different centuries and were all very different. I think the first portrait is very realistic looking, the second portrait screams van Gogh with his unique style even if you didn't know it was a self portrait you could guess he was the artist, and the third portrait is black and white and very old as it is from the 1600's.
2. I chose a pencil because that is what I am most comfortable with.
3. I felt like the entire self-portrait was a challenge for me because I am not comfortable with drawing. I was trying so hard to make it look somewhat like the picture. I didn't want it to look like I was just scribbling a quick picture but it still came out looking that way.
4. This piece represents me because it is very simple. My personality is very black and white and I very simplistic so I think the lack of extreme detail and color is really fitting especially with the tone created by the expression on my face.
5. I mostly just used line and form to try to create the shape of a person.
6. I wouldn't say I enjoyed this project. If anything it really stressed me out trying to get it to look more realistic and I am just not skilled enough in drawing to make it look how I want it to look.
7. I think my final art work is horrendous! I don't know how I could have made it better though. I really tried to draw what I saw in the picture but it just wasn't happening for me. I think the nose has to be one of the most difficult things to draw. It was so hard to even try and create realistic shape of a nose. My hands are really bad too. I had a lot of trouble trying to create good proportion. It also looks a little funny from the way the scanner picked up the pencil.
