Self Portraits

I decided to sketch a little tonight. I haven't tried to draw myself in years, so I figured that'd be a good start. I parked my rear end on the floor in front of a full length mirror, armed with a pencil and one of those empty sketchbooks I had mentioned in my previous post. Here's where it went:

This is what I first drew. Took about 15-20 minutes, I think. But time flies when I'm drawing, so it could have been longer. I was actually pretty happy with the way it turned out. It's a little charicature-esque as opposed to realistic, but I'm okay with that. I made the eyes a little too big.



Then I tried this. Even though I feel it's more realistic, there's something about it I just don't like. Feels lopsided to me or something. And my face is more square, like in the first picture.



Then, after I scanned in the pictures, I decided to quickly "airbrush" the first one, for fun.



And that was my forced creativity for the day.
