For this piece I picked pencil as my medium, I sketched out everything first and then I added detail to the face such as shadowing, scars, facial hair, smile lines, wrinkles. I picked my dad for this project because he doesn't have much hair because he shaves it all off and I have never been good at drawing people anyways especially hair.

Inspired Artist
The artists who inspired me are designer Olya Glagoleva who did a collaboration with a artist named Lisa Smirnova who is Russian. They design clothes that have been embroidered to look like paint splotches and patterns. The thought they had behind the clothes they have designed is that you're very likely to have paint or other art supplies splattered on you by the time you're done with your piece, so they have now created clothing to make it look like this, but instead using a stitching design that Olya and Lisa call Paint Splotch Embroidery. These artists grabbed my attention when scrolling down the page because their work looks like they just came out of a art class that had finished painting. It looked so natural I was intrigued by what it was.
