Project Two: Line – Practice

Hey all!

I spent January practicing incorporating line into my portraits. This is the practice into Color Project Two: Line. 

I used Grimes (Claire Boucher) as a reference. Last year, I gave a presentation on her niche lore for a community programming day at my school – and I love her authenticity. I chose to use her as a reference because of how fun her hair colors are and how expressive her facial expressions are.

I absolutely love how line is incorporated into the hair. I also love how kinetic and loose the shadows/highlights on the face are.
