CHLOE KETCHAM

For the self portrait we learned about face proportions which helped me so instead of putting the facial features in random places, i know exactly where to put them due to measurements. When drawing a self portrait it's important to work on the background before the foreground because once the foreground is perfected you don't want to continue working on the drawing in fear of messing up the perfect foreground. For the facial features the eyes are in the middle of the head horizontally and vertically they are in sections 2 and 4 out of the five even sections splitting the head vertically. The nose is an eye and a half long and the width at the end of the nose meets the insides of the eyes. The lips are half of an eye down from the nose, and the corners of the lips end equivalent to the middle of the eyes. For my hair, which is curly, i drew spirals of all different values instead of drawing each separate strands i drew chunks that tend to clump together with a variety of rang making the hair look more realistic.
