Description Acrylic paint on paper.

A self portrait I did for a school project on costume. I had fun getting thos photos taken, because my Art teacher had decided to do my hair in a Mrs Lovett style, all back combed and piled on my head. Which was fine until I realised no oe had left me a hair brush to get the damn stuff out and I had to go to English like some bizaare Eighties goth. It was worth it just for the funny looks I got in the corridors.

Nice one ^^
I like the fan and the mask, it looks like a venetian costume ball... I so love masks... They scream secret!!! ^^
But somehow the nose seems a bit weird, but that may have happened by drawing from a photography, sometimes they show rare poses and stuff...
But I really like it! Now I want to go to a costume ball...

Well spotted, this is drawn from a photo reference although I do have kind of a weird nose anyway

Thanks for the feedback and the kind comments; I'm glad you like it!

No problem ^^
I have the same problem drawing from photos... They mostly have stupid perspectives...

It's my preferred way to draw to be honest. I find it a lot easier.

Thank you very much, that means a lot

I think I've improved a little since I painted this: I should really get my sketch book out over the easter holidays and see.

Thank you so much. Looking back at it now it seems like it could be improved, but at the time I was really proud of it.

Wow, this is beautiful. It reminds me like you're attending a type of masquerade. It looks very professional and talented. Good work, it looks really nice. Especially the fan and the mask. The fan makes me think of asia and the mask... rome I think it was.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

The fan is actually from the South of Spain and the mask is from... well Scotland I think the design is Venician. I love them too: I only wish I got more use out of them.
