A Time Goes By...Willem Dafoe

We all get older and sometimes it's necessary to make that happen a little faster. For creating the illusion of altered age I combined hard lines with a brown eyeliner pencil and shading with small brush strokes of my shadow. I like the end result because it was not too muddy but it was also definitive enough to show myself looking older in either a medium house or an intimate setting. I had difficulty making my tracing paper rendering of my face with age drawn in translate onto my face and not look overly harsh. So I tried adding more highlight to the areas around where I wanted the shadows to be more defined. This worked especially well in my forehead and overall I was pleased with the result. There are also a few pictures where the lazy eye phenomenon appears again.

Altered Form

As we did weight and thinness on our face I notices that I had an easier time with the skinny side than I did with the heavier side. I really liked how the two contrasted each other by being on my face at the same time. Something interesting I noticed after looking at the pictures is that it appears I have the illusion of a lazy eye.
