The project was the self portrait drawing at a 3/4 view so that our head is turned lightly to the side. One skill used in this sketch is shading and I also learned a little about it too, like specifically where to place it on the face. The elements that are most emphasized in the work are value and proportion. Proportion is used so that all the parts of the face are equal to each to represent the drawing to look more like us. The principle is creating something interesting more so than something new, since there has been plenty of self portraits in the past.
