To get the picture of me underwater I submerged my head half way under water and took a picture. I chose to do this because it would look more interesting than a normal self portrait. The front of my face was drawn with graphite pencil and the surrounding area is done in acrylic paint. This piece wasn't too challenging but the getting the proportions right was the only problem. I love this piece because it's very simple but is different because of the various mediums I used. For the background I used a deep blue for my hair and kept going over with a smaller brush so you could see the texture. After that I watered down blue acrylic and went over where the water was supposed to be. This created depth but also shows the top of the water. Overall, I am proud of this piece because it does look like me, the colors are different but similar, and it's unique.
