Split Personality?


Self Portrait II
Graphite on Paper
Spring 2007

One of the final projects for Drawing II. Again, usually I do not like drawing myself, it feels awkward. But I enjoyed doing this one. I liked exploring facial sculpting with the pencil using shadow and light. For this one, I wanted to convey that we all have a lighter side and a darker side to our personalities. I'd say I'm a pretty positive person, but definitely have a healthy dose of cynicism. Try to guess which one is which in this drawing. Looking forward vs. looking backward.
