Artist's Comments

First self portrait since 2003. I'd never gotten to use the multi-colored pencil method on a close-up face, so I used my own.
I was wearing sparkly purple eyeshadow, hee.

It feels weird putting my own face up on the internet D:

Ref'd in a portable cosmetic mirror that I keep around for expressions and hands.

Prismacolor pencil, white ink, india ink, acrylic paint on bristol.

It looks like it--er, you could move!

It seems like in places (around the eyes in particular), you rendered yourself pretty cruelly. I totally understand. I have the girliest of girly faces, but when I draw myself, I make these crazy eyebrows and I'm just vicious about my own face.

If you drew yourself like a barbie, I wouldn't wanna watch you anymore. XD Self portraits really show a lot about the artist. Yay! You're not egotistical! Way to go.

Well, I'm 30, so I am starting to get tiny little crow's feet - but yeah, I tend to be harsh in self-portraits :)

I love how detailed it looks but how thick the colored strokes are - and in general I love anyone who can pull off this style of coloring, I've always wanted to be able to :D I really like your hand especially!
