Now that I have completed my Old Master's drawing, I have started research and brainstorming for my next project: a self-portrait. In order to build off of the previous project, the self-portrait will be done in the same medium and general style as the Old Master's drawing. In my case, this means that my self-portrait will be in conté crayon with the same style as Andrea Del Sarto.
As of currently, I haven't chosen a single picture yet for my self-portrait, but the three pictures I have whittled my choices down to are shown below. Doing general research of self-portraits, most of them tend to be from the waist up, so I decided to embrace this and have my photos also be just of my upper body instead of full-body. As of the three photos that I took, I am quite partial to the second photo since I think that the pose is interesting while also being centered in the composition, but I will consult my art teacher before deciding the final photo that I will be using for the project. While the second photo is probably my favorite, there are aspects of the other photos that I like as well. The first photo I think that has a very interesting pose, and the fact that the third has my arms uncovered would probably serve to make drawing the portrait more interesting. In my next progress post I'll inform you of the picture I have chosen, but I believe that it will most likely be the second photo, and hopefully by then I will have properly sized my paper as well.
