Chuck Close Inspired Grid Pencil Technique

As we completed the Cindy Sherman inspired photographic portraits, we were asked to do the same using inspiration from Chuck Close. To start off, we had to print a clear black and white A4 sized portrait of either a family member, relative, friends or even ourself as Chuck Close had already done. For this particular task, I have chosen my cousin. We then had to create a photo-realistic portrait using the style of technique of Chuck Close (Grid Technique). While creating this, we had to focus on using a range of B pencils to create a range of textures and tonal values in order to create the inspired portrait.
