Present your blog post on 02.22.

Brainstorm and Analyze

Brainstorm your concept for your self-portrait. Think about the message you want to send to your audience; what should they take away from the final image.

Develop Solutions

Sketch your concepts.

Take a photographic self-portrait (or selfie) that exemplifies your concept.

It is important to remember that everything within the composition of your image informs the viewer so be very aware of what is in the background of your image. 

You may "composite" in a new background for your image during the creation process.

Creation

Print your image in both black / white and color.

Trace your image. Find the highlights, mid-tones and shadows. Use a separate sheet of tracing paper for each color tonality.
