For the start of this process I chose to include objects like sponges, wrapping paper, feathers, bubble-wrap, and wire into my sculptures. After I made a few sculptures to experiment with I ended up having to adjust my sculpture to emulate a certain look with the light source. I finally decided on an image that I planned to draw that revealed an interesting, dynamic look that caught my attention. The project called for the same technique we used on the self-portrait drawing where we were suggested to use a grid system to accurately display our drawing from the image. Unfortunately I couldn’t get accurate dimensions to use a grid system so this drawing was created simply by looking at the reference image.

For this assignment I printed out the five, differently angled, pictures of my face onto paper, where I then started to cut out random shapes of those pictures. I then placed them strategically onto another piece of paper to form the final image I would reference in the final product of my drawing. By strategically placing the cutouts onto the reference image I was able to capture an abnormal, but similar, structure of a self-portrait with the body qualities in similar spots found in a traditional self-portrait image. And a grid system was used to accurately transform the reference image into the final 18x24 charcoal drawing.
