Self Insertion

Artist Statement: 

This self insertion image was created by finding a Google image that  was bright and calming. I first removed the background of the original image of myself. I then placed myself in the front and center of the beach in Bora Bora. I needed to match the bright lighting in the Bora Bora image and that was accomplished by adjusting the saturation and brightness of the image of myself.

The image I chose to replicate is an image of myself.     I started this project by outlining the main features of my face and later went in and added the details and colors. I wanted the hair to look as realistic as possible so I added several different tones to make the  highlights  stand out. This was done using individual pen strokes.
