Self-portrait


 This is my final piece for "Myself". I used pastels and colour pencils for this. I drew my portrait in the middle. I change right side of my face to the colour purple, because I like purple and wanted to show that people see me in different ways. Some people only see my some parts of my whole character. I didn't draw a strong line for the edge of my face. I wanted to show that I have strong identity, but my characteristic sometimes change by other things.

 In the right edges, I drew my hair and some shapes. I made my hair entangled, because I wanted to show my feelings are mixed and complicated. The shapes are also expressed my feelings: sad, happy, nervous, etc. The colours also shows that I'm from Korea(red and blue in the flag), and that I like purple. Purple is the mixture colour of red and blue.

 In the left edges I draw a couple and some lines. These shows my favorite. I love movies with any kind of genres. A couple is for romance movie, and the lines which shows movement is for action movies.

 It was quite hard to work with pastels, because it easily change the texture, when everytime I smoosh it. But the work was fun and I like it. It would be better if I drew the face to make it feel strong and drew some details about the couple.
