It is a self-portrait linocut print. It is a straight on print of my face leaning on my hand with my head at a bit of an angle. I look very bored and expressionless with no accessories on and my hair down one side of my face. The head occupies most of the right side it also fills most of the space. On the head and face, the cuts are all going one way except for the lower part where the cuts run down. My top lip is not cut as it is a shadow. My hair is covering the left part of my face. My head is laying on my hand and I have a hoodie on as you can see in the print from the sleeve. What you can't see is the left part of my face which is covered by shadows and from my neck down is all dark. On the upper part of my hand are bold cuts because that's where the light is really bright. I have no cuts on my top lip because since the top lip is curved in a bit light doesn't really hit it. there are cuts going straight up to mark the outline of my hair. Here is the product of my linocut.
