Michael Cera Stencil Project

 For my first sketchbook of collage techniques, I made a stencil portrait of Michael Cera featuring a quote from the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." For the background of this sketchbook, I put torn pieces of newspaper on a canvas using glue, and then painted the canvas with a light blue wash. I next cut out my Michael Cera stencil and spraypainted it on my canvas with a red and yellow gradient. After that, I drew on my quote and went over the pencil markings with acrylic paint. I drybrushed black acrylic paint onto the background of the canvas, and in the stencil to make it look more three dimensional.
