This is the pencil outline of my drawing. I have laid the foundations for how I want my portrait to look like, and now I will begin to go over it in charcoal and begin my mark making, in the style of Tintoretto.

This is the image that I would like to use for my self-portrait - I really like to carve pumpkins and I think that this would definitely be an image that displays that interest! It shows a lot of the body, so it will be more challenging that simply sketching the head, however, I think that I will leave out my apartment in the background and only draw me and the jack-o-lantern, to better focus on the fact that this is a portrait of the self and create emphasis on me. I am excited to start!
Now that I have my paper, I will begin to experiment further with charcoal and find suitable pieces that I can work with easily, since drawing from a photograph to replicate an entirely different style of art is much more difficult than an exact copy of said art style. I want to make this piece as realistic as I possibly can while still preserving the mark of Tintoretto, and so practicing before I start on the final product will serve me well. |
