ARTIST STATEMENT
I made my artwork by starting with making a drawing of my face with the shoulders and neck. I used pencil to do the outlines of the entire face and the features of the face like the eyes or the nose. I colored the entire face with brown chalk pastel and I darkened the colors near the edge of the face because it shows the depth. I put some yellow color into the cheeks to make the cheeks lighter and show the depth even more. I really wanted to show depth in my face with the cheeks and the sides.
For the background, I put two football and basketball angels next to me on my shoulders. The football angel has white wings and a yellow halo. The basketball angel had white wings and a yellow halo also. I colored the background with orange sharpie and it covered most of the background.
The picture of myself really shows how I look and I feel that it has a really good likeness of me. It doesn't look exactly as my face but it’s okay. The football angel and the basketball angel mean to show how sporty I am and how much sports I do. I didn't put a devil like how the cartoons have one angel and devil on the shoulders. I don't like putting evil things in my drawings and I love both sports a lot. I like basketball more so that’s why the basketball looks better than the football. I think that this is an okay successful drawing for myself and I think that there might be better drawings than mine. I feel that this picture is my best picture of myself since I am really bad at drawing myself. I feel good about this drawing.
