Circles


Experimentation with circles

I've been experimenting with using different ways to create portraits. This first piece was an experimentation of using circles created with a compass to draw a face. I'm rather disappointed with this outcome. It definitely doesn't have the same effect as my previous work. The face is non existent, which I feel would almost alienate the viewer from my work. 

I didn't want to give up using circles so I thought I would give it another try but using a different technique. I created a face by filling in defining features of the face with different sized circles. I was really pleased with the result. I like how even with minimum features filled in you can tell its a face, and even have a vague idea of defining features.
