Day 27 & 28

The challenge for Day 27 & 28  (I think you know what it is).....

Create a fused glass powder sgraffito drawing of our model, Albert.

Here are some hints that will help you in your approach:

Begin your drawing upside-down.  Squint your eyes and look for the areas that are the darkest darks and the lightest lights.  Get the rough shapes of those areas in first.    Next, think about the tools you've created and the textures you've been able to make with them.

As you work, take photos of your portrait in progress.  This will help you figure out where problem areas are.  You will have two days to complete this project, so post an 'in progress' photo for today, and a photo of your completed piece for tomorrow.  

You have everything you need, use everything in your arsenal!

OMG......I did not think I could or would EVER be able to do this!!

But........

I think I'm pretty happy with this guy. I'm not so intimidated with the self portrait now. I must confess....I was quite overwhelmed and did not do ANYTHING the first day and a half. Probably took me 2 hours.
