Facetime with Damian
Out of all of my pieces this is probably my least favorite. I loved the concept and how this piece originally started out. I think that the jeans and the hand turned out really great. I had fun experimenting how to get the texture right in the jeans. I just an exacto knife to make "seams" in the jeans to give it a more realistic look. The composition is not very strong because I put the phone dead center in the piece. I was really happy with how the piece was looking until I started drawing the faces. I figured that because my self portrait turned out so good that it would be really easy to do faces smaller. I was very wrong. I redid Damian's face at least 5 times and the final product still doesn't really look like him. By the time I got to my face I was ready to be done with the piece and I just gave up. If I were to redo this piece I would find a stronger composition and I would practice doing the faces more before putting them on the final product.
