Black and white self-portrait painting

This is a portrait of me in black and white. It was done in my visual studies lesson. I basically got a black and white photocopy of me and drew a 2cm by 2cm grid on a A4 sized paper. Then I used black and white paint to start painting on the image with a small brush.

Then I slowly started to paint in the detail, and the tone of colors by using a small brush and mixing the black and white paint to get different shades of greys to match the tonal areas of the image.

And finally toward the end I took up closer picture of my face that I painted on and you can see the texture of the small brush that I used and also a rough brush.
