The Body Project Sketchbook Page (Pt.4)

With my full body images, I decided to take my insecurities and apply them to myself via photoshop. In these pages, I exampled my process of how I elongated my features, like my arms, fingers, and feet. Continuously, I altered my facial features using the images of my face, as to highlight my insecurities; prominent nose, lips, visible acne and higher hairline, etc. For the side profile of my full body, I did less altering for the face, as I had less to work with, and also due to the fact that I forgot to take side profile images of my face.

I'm no photoshop expert, however, I believe they came out well, even if the result was unrealistic.

As to find methods of presenting the photoshopped images, I looked at illusions that could exhibit two images in one. The well renowned image of Albert Einstein/Marilyn Monroe had inspired me to use photoshop - once again - as to combine both images of my face, altered and unaltered, to create a similar image. I had shown my working with this technique, after taking the altered image of my face and writing positive things around the image (as to contradict the previous pages which had negative comments surrounding the unaltered images of my body/face).
