Value Art Portrait

This is my Value Portrait. To start this, we had to draw in all of the shapes that we saw on the picture, for example if you see a darker spot that is triangular shaped, you would draw it in. Then, we would add in all of the physical features such as the nose, eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. Next, you shade the darker parts of the picture, acording the they way that you had drawn your shapes. AS you are doing this, it looks slowly more like the picture you are drawing. I found the different values in this portrait by drawing in the darker shapes that i saw on the picture. this helped me to be able to shade it more acurately. I had a full range of values in my portrait by making the hair super dark, and starting darker on one side, and slowly fading of into white so that you can really see the shadow.I think that i did this picture pretty neatly and accurately, but one thing i would have changed on the way thati did this was make the shadows across his face a little more noticeable i didnt really think i did a great job of that. One really big obstacle that i had to overcome was the outline of the face. that was a really hard part for me to make proportional to the rest of the body.
