OK, so new assignment. FIVE Self-Portraits in pen, in your sketch book, or on computer paper, from a mirror. I want you to do more than one of them because I want you to feel as if you have to move quickly. Quickly doesn't mean haphazard or half assed. This should be an intense investigation, drawing only what you see and fighting the urge to draw the stuff you know. Work on the whole face at the same time. Worry about making a figure with volume and space rather than capturing a likeness. I'll be more impressed by a monster-ish portrait that feels like a person than a flat looking drawing that a sort of resembles you.



Remember to finish the self portraits we worked on in class, bring in your best Gorilla and one of your figure drawings. I will grade these and give you some feedback on how your doing. We've reached a point in the semester where we need to turn up the heat a bit. If your pushing yourself really hard, don't just maintain that intensity, accelerate. For those of you coasting, it's time to get serious about this. You're missing really great stuff! Onward we go!
