Homework:
Assignment 8 : Dramatic Self Portrait : Using your measurement guide from Assignment 7, coupled with careful observation and good reference, complete the self portrait you began in class. Be sure to use dramatic lighting and a full range of value.
If you need more Reference Begin by Shooting that! Shoot MORE reference than you need. Begin by photographing Front, Side, and 3/4 views of the Head. But also shoot a few more interesting views and expressions, for a total of 6 reference images. Bring ALL of these to class next week!
HINT: Print LARGE IMAGES using the FULL PAGE. Use dramatic lighting and distinct shadow shapes to create visual interest and to make the image easier to draw.
