Double Self-Portrait

2-25-09

Charcoal, 18" x 24"

This is not the best quality picture--I'll come back later to replace it, once I get the piece back. This is my Double Self-Portrait assignment for Drawing II. I was supposed to draw myself twice, with different expressions and also come up with a way to make the two portraits interact within the same composition. Thus I came up with the mirror idea--real original, I know, but it got the point across that I wanted to make. I can see myself the way that I am and the way I want others to see me as, but somehow I just can't make that side of me match up with the way I really present myself to others.
