Profile portrait Weaved

So this is one of three pieces, the portrait on the left is the original, and the one on the right is made out of two photocopies of the original and weave together to form the abstraction of the portrait.

Self-portraits!

 These are all self portrait, they were all made with pencil, they are meant to form one last piece when they are all combined, but while i finish that, these are the originals.

Also I'm going to be showing a recombination of each one of the self portraits.

The first one is the "emotion self portrait" where even though in the picture i was tired, came out to look more like a sadness pose, yet any emotion works for this!

In the second one, it was a simple "profile self portrait", my personal favorite.

And the last one was a "mirror self portrait", so i was looking at a mirror while I was drawing this one a little harder for me.



Photo-montage

 This was a really cool photo-montage. I took about 30 pictures of a reservoir. You can see the tripod on the deck. on the far end there is a little platform like thing that floats with 2 friends on it.
It really captures a good sense of space by showing the sides and the base but then it fades away into a normal picture.
If you see the second picture, you can see that it is different pictures above and bellow each other to create one image.

Pisces

This was drawn with pencil on a really small canvas. It is a representation of the zodiac sign pisces, yet this is not my zodiac sign, it was actually a gift for a really good friend!

Feather's brightness

This still life was done with charcoal, acrylic paint and pastels. The feather is illuminating that little area, unfortunately everything behind was white so there is no color. the feather was the one that was done with pastels, but instead of applying the pastel directly, with a blade i made it powder so it was easier to make more fine and delicate coloring instead of pressing it against the canvas.

Infinity spiral

This is an abstract sculpture. I made it with cardboard circles and little sticks of balsa wood, the circles keep spinning continuously on a infinity sign way, there is about 6 infinity signs, i used the balsa wood because the cardboard was to navy after the 4th layer.

Subtractive self-portrait

I did this subtractive self-portrait, by covering the whole piece of paper with compress charcoal and erase little by little where there were lights, so instead of drawing in the shadows is erasing so you get light. I put my face against the photocopy machine and then started!
