Pen on paper

60 x 42cm

My self portrait wearing sunglasses was done in ballpoint pen on paper. I wanted to focus on the reflection in my sunglasses of someone’s feet in front of me. I experimented with different textures with the pen. This was challenging because it isn’t soft like a pencil, so drawing the face and skin was hard. However, I believe the artwork is successful as it uses a medium that isn’t usually used in portraiture.
