My version of Portraiture by Chuck Close part 1

So, this is what I have going so far. Thought I would post it up here. I still have a way to go, but I think it looks pretty neat so far. I have no idea how it will end up looking when its done, but if I was to stop now, at least I can see my face at least a little bit; but I'm not stopping at this point in time (or any point in time for that matter). Yeah, my eyes...pretty creepy looking right now, but that will change. Because as I am sitting here typing this blog, the painting is sitting to my left yelling at me to fix the creepyness level of the eyes. So I am doing that now. I lovelovelove this project a lot...and after this one, I will pretty much bet I will end up doing more like this. My goal is to find an easier way to do it, so I will let you know how that goes. All I can think of so far is black and white picture next time; less time is spent figuring out 'what value is this square' or 'what in the world was i thinking when I painted this row of squares, cause its all wrong'. But yeah, thats pretty much it for now. I will of course post again when its done.

Thank you for your dedication to this piece-- it is taking longer than anticipated. I do think that you will have a product that you can be quite proud of, however. I can't wait to see the final posted on here. Enjoy your Break!
