This was an assignment in class where we were tasked with finding a famous artwork, and replacing the subject with someone we knew. I replaced Leonardo Da Vinci's "Head Of A Woman", and replaced the subject with my beautiful friend Alexandria Brown. Since the original is done on wood, I had to use brown paper, which is closest to the color. Everything is down with charcoal, and a little bit of white colored pencil on the hair. In this piece, I wanted to capture Leonardo's amazing talent for making the human skin look so smooth. Therefore, I tried to shade out the face enough to capture the appropriate surface.
