It may come to your surprise that these are in fact two self portraits. I hadn't intended to have the finished outcomes quite so bare. But when firstly carrying out the monochrome piece as time went on I was about to start drawing the hair, but something made me stop, look back and decide to leave it out. The same goes for the detail in the eyes. Thinking now, im guessing subconsciously I was stripping back my identity and producing a blank canvas of myself.
Coloured piece is made up of soft pastels with the background being french polish.
Monchome piece is charcoal and soft pastels. Both are on A4 Cartridge paper.
