Pixel Portrait
Pixel Portrait is a true exploration into value; more specifically, how value assimilates and contrasts against itself to create the image in your mind, instead of simply painting a self-portrait.
I applied the same grid to both the reference image and artwork to allow myself to match the value in each corresponding square.
This project was made using a standard pencil eraser to stamp acrylic paint onto an illustration board.
