This is my expression self portrait. I really focused on the values in this art piece with the darkness in my shirt and waves and the lightness on thebsurfboard its self. This really helped me progress with shading using graphite pencils. I hope I get the chance to do more pieces like this in the future.
This is the sketch in my sketchbook that I did in order to help get the shape of this board and the shape of the body against it. This helped me get an idea of what it will look like in the full sketch.
