This is the self-portrait assignment. I think it does sort of look like me, but I feel like something looks funny about it and I'm not sure what to do to make it better... any suggestions?
I like that it is a close-up view. I like that things do not try to look perfect. It has a mood about it and that is good too. It is pretty dark overall though. I think you could use more greys in the lighter range of values. Try to think about where there might be some highlights or lighter greys and see if you can insert some to lighten it up a bit. Otherwise I like it. Also, don't be afraid to show some brush marks and some additional blending. Taht will keep it from looking as "flat".
This will be "Art 4 Central" for you. I will expect to hear from each of you on a regular basis. Assignments will be posted here. Updates of interest will be popping up when necessary. We can talk about art questions or problems. (Really we can talk about anything; I want some fun vacation reports as well.) You will be asked to post your work to share with the group. I want both imagesand text. You will be posting feedback for your peers' work too. There will be grades given in the fall for your level of participation. This is a great way to get a jump on your portfolio for next year. So be sure to check in on a regular basis!

Do we have to use black and grays? is this the one you distorted?
