The first part of this project was picking a photo of yourself to use. I really liked this picture because of the colors of the sunset, so I decided to use this one.
While I was adding pieces of magazine to cover the matboard, I added unique pictures to make it more fun, instead of just a boring board of color. I added an otter to my hair and plenty of other strange things.
Once I finally finished, I was a little disappointed. From looking at the print out of my picture, my skin looked darker than it really is so I tried to follow that. But I started to run out of the same color towards the end so I tried to stick to the darker colors.
Original vs. Collage
I started to sketch my face in my sketchbook and then went to a big piece of matboard.
I used some corn in my sand and added this ugly baby for some flare.
I ended up looking really, really tan. Scary tan. But other than that I liked the outcome. The sky is my favorite part because of all the elements included in it, like the toucan beak and the monkey with a hat.
