Take a Few Steps Back Now

In class this week we learned about the American artist Chuck Close. His works of art are quite unique. I can only imagine how much time is spend into doing each portrait. His portraits are different from what I have ever seen and they are amazing!

Everyone's favorite model and muse- supermodel Kate Moss.

This is such a cool way to have your portrait done!

It sickens me how good his drawing are. They look just like a printed black and white photograph!
