Favorite Portraits – Kirsten

These were my favorite portraits throughout the process of this assignment.  Rather than taking photographs, I decided to draw my portraits each day.  Personally I’ve never been particularly drawn to photography, and I don’t like taking pictures of myself very much.  I also thought that drawings could better reflect my overall thoughts and mood for the day through exaggerated gestures and expressions!  For the 6 day journal assignment, I labelled each portrait with the day of the week I drew it, and Tuesday is my free day so I tried to capture the calm but slightly bored feeling I was having.  My second portrait was from the second round of portraits, and I was a bit frantic and stressed that day so I drew out a mind dump of the general thoughts/emotions running through my head at that time.
