I used pastels, charcoal, and pencil to create my drawing. I used collage to for an interesting background, and added fur for added foreground texture. The three tears in my face, and the hanging nude of myself draw the eye down and to the right, causing movement.
I am a Bear. Ferocious, tenacious, powerful, and hungry. These traits are all within me and a part of me. In my self-portrait I am within the skin of a bear. I take on the essence of the bear, and mirror it's savagery in my face and body language. But, sometimes, this power cannot get contained and gets the best of me. It "tears" out of it's resting place within me, and sends me on a rapacious rampage. I end up clinging for dear life, on the edge of destruction or on the teeth of my destroyer. I in the end, will most likely be my own destroyer. I, the bear.
