Description Β«Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin, blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?Β»

'Purple Haze' by Jimi Hendrix

I've finished this! YaY!
This was supposed to be my gift for all you guys for my 2nd DA birthday but most part of people voted to see this right when I finished it so, there you go!
My first self-portrait ever. Or kind of. I did something in a fantasy style, of course but still, that's me, you can see the reference picture here: [link]
This drawing was probably the most 'artistic' one I've ever done and, by artistic I mean, let's try out a different thing, new materials and let imagination flow. For this, I've used graphite pencils, coloured pencils, gouache and pastel sticks.
I love purple so I think it's the best colour to put on a self-portrait... and I absolutely love butterflies! oh and first time I've drawn freckles EVER! and I drew them on me! I mean, I do have all those freckles but I usually delete them from my modeling pictures because shops don't like freckles that much. I'm quite surprised I've put them here!
I know this ain't my best work ever but I really like it, I do. I'm not such a big fan of that crappy scan but whatever. nothing will spoil my artistic happiness.
Hope you like it!
take care,
Ester
