Response to "Digital Self-Portrait"

I picked a photo of myself that, while not the most interesting, has the most potential to be the most interesting. My approach is to separate the different values in the picture depending on how dark it is. While this may appear to mean that I will have to limit myself to a monochromatic theme, I am not sure if this is the direction I will pursue. While this is one direction I could go - changing my face to a different hue altogether - i feel that eventually i will probably separate the different parts of the face, regardless of whether they are the same value and make sure that the different hues are of the same value. Simply, I plan on starting with a monochromatic theme and moving from there... I think it is important to approach projects through a different outlook. I feel that many people would expect one to follow more of a realistic route, while I am heading in a more surrealistic direction. We will have to see how this ends up.


Just as a side note, I have been using the mouse for this, and it is taking me about 2738905983749852x longer then it would have with the pen tool! AGH!
