Description
Okay, let me begin by explaining why my self-portrait is of my bum --This class assignment wasn't necessarily about being realistic (hence the colors and such) but more about the painting techniques. All the little pretty girls in my class had stolen the small mirrors and were trying to do their faces, and I decided that was stupid and I would have to wait forever to get a mirror anyway. Soooo... I took a picture of my bum, printed it, and started painting.
The paper is divided into four sections, each with a different painting technique... from left to right (top to bottom on the right): wash, hard edge, a failed attempt at stippling, and painterly.
Mmm. Fun stuff... my style tends to be more hard edge than anything else, I actually liked having to mix it up a bit. Interesting experience.

heh, the song "baby got back" came to mind for some reason.
Of course, this is really good. I like the different styles, but I particularly like the wash and hard edge. The stippling is fine as far as style, you just need to control it a bit more, it looks like your right ass cheek is melting o_O
Wrinklyness aside, its a very good piece

Lmao, thank you, I think. Amusing song, I love how no one knows the lyrics past the second line.
Yeah, this is my first ever attempt at stippling and it ended up pissing me off quite badly. I'm probably gonna do another piece where I combine some more techniques and if I do I'm going to attempt stippling again just so hopefully I can get the hang of it. ...And that would suck so badly if my ass cheek melted.
Eh, cheap paper is all they can get us at school. It all wrinkles.

"you can do side bends or sit ups, but please don't lose that butt, baby got back."
Lol. Its a good attempt, you've got it down, you just need to watch the form as you go so it doesn't warp.
