A mirror is a reflective surface, now
typically of glass coated with a metal amalgam(an alloy of mercury with another metal, especially one used for dental fillings) that reflects a clear image.
When doing a self portrait a mirror is used to look at your own image. When
using a mirror to look at your image you are to make sure that the mirror is
straight in front of your face. If the mirror is to the side or below then your
self portrait will be wrong unless that is the view you want. When using a
mirror you should also bring the mirror closer to you face to see the detail
and also when looking into the mirror squint your eyes to get a better look of
value.Saturday, 14 June 2014
