To create this painting, I drew sketches of somebody that was willing to be the model for the painting.

Then I redrew the sketches, adding changes to make them abstract. I made sure to incorporate things from Picasso paintings to make it have a picasso-esque feel.

I made the nose, eyes, and neck the way they are in the painting because I've seen all of these things in several Picasso paintings.

This picture is of the sketch I did of someone for the painting.

It looks a bit more like the person than the actual painting does, because I made changes to the painting to make it look more abstract and picasso-esque.
