Paper Face
Prompt
The bust's face and upper body are formed from overlapping, torn sketchbook paper fragments—pages rough-edged and visibly layered without anatomical coherence. Realistic skin patches emerge unpredictably through jagged paper tears, with graphite scribbles and charcoal smudges blending into the cheekbones and jawline, misaligned and partially replicated. Eyes are misplaced, some drawn in charcoal, some realistic, layered atop folded paper edges with visible creases and staples holding fragments. The bust's neck and shoulders fold irregularly like stacked notebook pages curling at corners. The background is a flat mustard yellow, adorned with abstract, torn paper scraps and scattered graphite lines. Harsh flat lighting highlights every tear, wrinkle, and smudge, emphasizing the fractured mix of paper textures and partial realism in a boldly flattened, hand-assembled collage style.
