Self portrait covered about 95% with reds & violets. A sketch for large format oil painting

Not crazy about the color at this size but ideas are ideas 🤷‍♂️

Very dark vertical self portrait. Mostly black over violet & red background that appears at the right edge (mostly), the eyeball of the left eye has an interesting, piercing affect

Half purple & half red background split basically vertically over/under greyscale portrait w/crazy medium thick black lines creating a mask effect while covering most of the canvas. It's one in a study of how little must remain for reality to be discernable

Dark, greyscale self portrait with solid black lines both delineating and obscuring features

Dark, greyscale self portrait with blue tint added throughout with solid black lines both delineating and obscuring features, almost like a mask

Ideas on brevity using verbosity

Herein...
Brevity: how little is needed to remain (of the subject) to still be objectively & immediately understood

Verbosity: so many partially random lines, then the pesky idea of differing experiences with proximity changes
