This is a self portrait of myself that I have sketched out and shaded. With using different tones and hard/soft pencils I was able to compose a self portrait of myself. I was had a difficult time in drawing at first as I couldn’t tell how it resembled me. I am the type of person where if it doesn't look right, I will have to redo it until I am satisfied. I was not satisfied. So I kept on erasing and sketching over and over until it started to compose into the photo I was trying to resemble.
My inspiration was myself since this is a self portrait. Also, I feel that my drawing is relatable since there are many self portrait artists who can portray wonderful artworks of other people and it is inspiring on how creative they are to sketch such beautiful portraits.
Social issues that relate to my self portrait is that everyone is scared on how they may appear to others and are usually self conscious about their appearance which is usually a problem in our society. People think they have the right to judge others but we are all made different yet unique in God’s eyes, all being brothers and sisters to each other. We should all love ourself and each other. So in conclusion, this is me and I love my self portrait!
This is related to the artistic movement called, "Realism". The artists during this time, painted portraits and body images as though they wanted to represent and show what was real and this movement was during the early 19th century.
