In my AP Drawing class (the best in Texas, actually), I have been working on an art project designed by the famous Chuck Close where you draw realistic portraits using only red, blue, and yellow Prismacolor pencils! I thought it sounded incredibly difficult, but it's actually quite fun, and I love the effect it has.


After maybe 3 days of work?
Yay, you can see my colored pencils that are about 2/3 the length that appears in the picture.


What I have finished by today.

The shots are very grainy D: (they look much more smooth in real life, I promise. :P)

They are due next Thursday, but I'm a fast worker. :]

Oh, and here's the original image, if you wanted to see it
