Title: Zoning Dimensions: 9.5"x6.5" Media: Colored pencil and white gel pen.
For this piece I wanted to try doing a face at an angle, since I usually just do portraits from the front and I wanted it to be cropped differently to make the piece more interesting. I used a photo of one of my friends as a reference. I used many mixtures of yellows, greens, reds, etc. to get the color of the skin. By using opposite colors and different values of each color I was able to add more texture, and details to the overall piece. If I were to do this piece again, I would try to find more colors that I could use for the skin, while it turned out fine more skin colors would have been able to add more color and better skin complexion.
