Description
this is a self portrait... with a twist. i wanted to portray my personality. not my face. that was not the point. its a little trip into my soul. look and study.i could tell you what everything meant but that would be telling.
i am really proud of the idea behind this. it really does explain me in one and i believe i have captured what i meant to say... drawing wise erm... its still what i call not as good as what i want lol.
unblended circulism.

This is amazing! I'm trying to get into charcoal photorealism and I'm not really sure what techniques to use. What is unblended circulism? I couldn't find it on google. Thanks so much. : D

I tried looking but I couldn't capture any part of your soul!
Perhaps the only is the key... 
Anyway, I do like the concept, I think it's very interesting that you tried to go beyond and tell something about yourself with your art. Not everybody does that, and the message it's just as important, if not more, than the image.

I know I have commented on this before,
But everytime I see this picture on my Random Favourites,
I get this bone chilling feeling in me. This piece literally gives me the creeps,
or this eerie feeling. But don't take that as something mean, this is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen on here. I just love what you have gotten across with this portait. It makes me wonder/think...

You're welcome, but you don't have to thank me, I only speak what I think, and that's the truth.

Well, like I've explained before.
I did not draw this piece myself.
I photocopied the original work and then I went over it with charcoals and chalk.
Thank you!

The way I made this art piece.
I photocopied a drawing.
Than I drew some more on top of it.
I put shadows and enhanced it's depth by adding different styles of shading.
Hope that helps..
