For this portrait, I chose to use a portrait of a Syrian refugee. The Aleppo news had been at a high at the time that I had started this portrait, so I wanted to do something in relation to this tragedy. I chose this picture and began by sketching the face with correct proportions and lines. I did this twice, and then began the real thing. For the real piece, I used pencil for the face outline, colored pencil for the hair, face, and shirt, oil pastel for the background, and newspaper for the frame. I wanted people to be able to look at the piece and automatically understand the issue I was trying to portray.
