I finished my self portrait! It took a LONG time to do all the different values in the skirt, but I am really really proud of how it turned out. I feel like it really captures Salvator Rosa's style as well as my personality! I really enjoyed working with pen and ink on this project, it was definitely risky but I am so proud of how it turned out! Now that I have learned how to use pen and ink I am really excited to continue to try making art using this medium, I love the effect pen and ink has. I would also love to try etching to continue working with Rosa's style, he is such an interesting artist and I hope to learn more about him in the future!
