365 Self Portraits - Week Two


Not sure what this is? Click here to read about this project

Progression is from left to right along the top, then jumps over to progress again left to right on the bottom.

The far top right sketch was done in my hotel room in Oregon this past Monday night - I forgot to bring paper or pencil, but luckily they had a little notepad and a partially sharpened golf pencil. I was also a lot further away from the mirror than I usually am - at my desk, I sit right in front of one, but in the hotel I was on the bed across from a mirror mounted on the wall (there was no way to sit down in front of it).

Interesting how I automatically turn my head when I go to draw myself, I'm going to try to mix it up a bit and do some straight-on sketches.

  1. Interesting differences. Some look obviously like you and some honestly don't right now. Perception is such a funny thing.

  2. Hahaha oh trust me I know that these are definitely not a showcase of my drawing skills :) But I think the repetition will help me improve consistently in the long run! It can be very hard to see yourself as you are
