This is an abstract interpretation of myself. The steps taken in creating this painting are as following:
First, I took a picture of myself and imported it into Photoshop.
Next, I intensified the hue saturation, and deepened the contrast.
Fourthly, I applied the Cut Out effect. This effect causes similar colors to block together. This gives the painting a puzzle effect.
Next, I drew the photoshoped image on a canvas using a pencil. The easiest way to acomplish this step is to focus on drawing the shape of each section, verses a nose or a mouth. As I drew, I consistently made note of my placement. For example, my nose is directly above my mouth about an inch, my left eye merges slightly with my glasses, and my thumb aligns with the center of my eye.
Lastly, I painted each section with a tint or shade of color that matches the original photoshoped image.
