Multiple Personality Portraits

In class we will be creating portraits that include both observational, and expressive elements that demonstrate your many personalities.

Your final composition should include at least four feature studies, each study should include at least two facial features.

Your final composition should elegantly overlap and combine your feature studies in a unified way. Consider how the features of your face can be combined together and experiment with your layout in your sketchbook first.

Once you've connected your feature studies together, identify an expressive element that you'd like to include. This element could be a metaphorical object, personal item, or even something imaginary. You should draw this element into your combined feature studies in your sketchbook first.

Final Feature study Drawings
Your final feature study drawings should show the following:

1) Careful observation, (no schema)
2) Careful, clean application of charcoal
3) Wide range of values (blackest blacks and whitest whites)to show form of your face
4) Variety of line quality

Your four final drawings will be due on Monday, Oct. 13th.
