To make this image, I first had my picture taken and took the image taken of me and put it into Adobe Lightroom, where I heightened the contrast and brightness of the image. I then had this picture printed out on a clear plastic, which I laid onto a blank piece of paper. Because I had increased the contrast and brightness so much, I was able to use this to replace my mouth with that of some bright red lips I found in a magazine which I placed under the clear plastic layer. I also added a black shadow to my eyes with sharpie and estimated the exact location where my eyes would be by lifting the plastic layer up slightly and then drawing, I did the same thing with the background with which I used a brown marker and estimated the area around my body. I also colored in my hair as well. Personally I think I did pretty good and there is nothing I would really change about it. I have however considered maybe using more of a grey tone instead of the brown.
