Whilst looking for initial guidelines on how self-portraiture is depicted i came across this picture that Rembrandt painted of himself. Rembrandt - Self-Portrait at Twenty Two As the picture was just a technical exercise of lighting and not an actual depiction of him, i still cant help but be drawn towards how the image feels. An how you can portray monumental components of your character. It could be as simple as the structure of ones face, to the position you place yourself in a portrait. Even taking out key facial features can speak on how your mindset and emotions are at that time and shown through portraiture . This is something i need to look further into and try recreate a meaningful expression through my own artwork.
