Description This is kiiiiind of what I look like...>.> I'm just taking an incy-weency break from the anime style to try something a little more challenging and boy do I feel challenged! The hardest thing about drawing a self portrait is the struggle between one's self and one's ego (this is too pretty, this isn't pretty enough, ect)! I don't submit plain pencil drawings as deviations often but since this was so difficult I figured it deserved a little love XD You might be seeing a colored version of this in the near future...

It really does look like you!! You capture the cuteness and aura of pink bubbles too! Great pencil strokes and attention to detail.

Bubbles...? Haha, thanks! I'm trying to do a colored version which will hopefully look better but yeah...I'm glad that it kind of looks like me, after all because I wasn't too sure about that ^.^

That's an amazing drawing, Devin. You're such a good artist--it makes me happy. You captured yourself really well; I love the hair.

By the way, is that perhaps your "Midnight Sun" shirt...?

It was! I kept on having to look in the mirror and scribble and erase...smiling is one of the hardest things to depict acurately, too because it forms a lot of lines in one's face which makes it hard to draw without making the subject look old >.<

Sank you! ^.^ I'm trying to color it but it's coming along very slowly...O.o

CaptBeans In reply to Rhapsodyinaqua [2007-03-07 08:00:03 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure it is, what with all the detail in the hair and the pressure to make it more realistic...Can't wait to see it, though!
