Up Close and Personal. 2010. Charcoal on paper. 18" x 24".
To begin this drawing, I smooshed my face on a Xerox machine and copied it (strange, I know). I happened to be wearing dramatic makeup that day, which added cool contrasts. I then coated a piece of paper with a thick layer of charcoal and began erasing parts to shade in my face. This was a VERY messy project! I was stained with charcoal for days! Also, my lips and nose are really not that big: they are squished against the copier :)
