Description you know, i've always been interested in self portraits, but i always hate drawing myself. hm.

also what's with me and closed eyes? seriously.

i started out using a reference photo but i wasn't liking it at all, so i did it from scratch. i think those are the real self portraits anyway, the ones done without looking at yourself.

i like this style.

i was trying to come up with a good title and everything seemed pretentious somehow, so, let's keep it simple shall we?


pencil and photoshop!


edit: changed the background color slightly...

Sandy colours with pale blue is just YUM. It shouldn't work, nothing indicates that it would work, but it just DOES dammit!

Your work gives me a nostalgic feeling. It's got a sort of... retro, hazy memory aura to it. I love the fact that you've put a couple of straggly, stray hairs in this rather than keeping the hair perfect and plastic. The shirt actually looks like material too!

i mean this in a flattering way, but there's something about the ears and nose that makes me think of teddy bears.

I was a little worried about how you'd take it when my sister leaned over my shoulder and said she thought it sounded like i was calling you an ewok.

Closed eyes and red noses, ya'know. It's part of your style, I'd guess.

It's really quite cute and has a peaceful feel to it.

mutsy In reply to Joelglaine [2007-09-26 21:44:39 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i figure that's why i always do it. it's funny because red noses don't really look that great in actuality... haha...

and for some reason, closed eyes always leave the viewer more reflective somehow. hm.

Yeppers! It's true. The eyes are the windows of the soul. When closed, everyone just wonders! ^__^

nice, it does kinda look like you, but i agree that it's good to draw yourself without looking at a picture, you kinda end up drawing yourself as you see yourself. i like it a lot. a
