portrait
My piece is a portrait of Chester Bennington he is smiling and he has earrings with glasses. The most prominate principle in my piece is value in the face and shirt.
I started by making a grid on my paper then I mapped out the face and the body then I added the smaller details then added value. The tools I used were shading pencils mapping pencils and the techniques and processes I used were value crosshatching and whohair.
the inspiration of my piece was the person I drew was a singer from the group Linkin park who passed away in 2017. The emotion I tried to convey was happiness bc he has a smile on his face in my piece.
My goal as an artist is to draw neat pieces and to show emotions threw out my art work weather its writing or drawing. I did not reach my goal because I didn't get the smile correct it looks more like a sad face.
