Modified portraits

Our task was to find portrait photographs and modify them using different materials or by drawing on them. Now I find this type of thing but am actually surprisingly pleased with the outcomes! The image below is the first one I did and i specifically chose it as I thought I could do something with the teeth and I liked how the crazy the hair is. I coloured in the teeth with all the different coloured pens I had and then pulled apart pieces of a feather and stuck them onto the hair to create the shape of it.

With the next portrait I ripped up small pieces of tissue paper, scrunched them up and stuck them onto the eyebrows. There was something about it that made me think clown so i drew lines on the side of the mouth to extend it into a joker type smile and then dotted the lips using 2 different highlighter pens. I also put the dots under the eyes to match, the black spikes on the nose were just to add something to the middle of the face but I think I could have left them out!

I decided to draw onto the outline of the face on this one with an orange greasepaint from my Kryolan palette, I then feathered it out onto the face using a sponge. I really like the effect and wish I had left it there but I thought it needed something more which is why I stippled on some black greasepaint with a stipple sponge but I don't like the result of it.
