High Contrast Portrait

PROJECT ASSIGNMENT: Choose a photograph and add high contrast then use the add and erase technique to achieve the desired effect

I chose this picture of my brother holding a lacrosse stick up to his face. First I completely covered the paper in blue nu pastel, then I completely covered the blue with black charcoal. After prepping the paper, I went in with multiple kinds of erasers and erased the highlights that were on his face. I am very pleased with how well this turned out!
