Description
I've been drawnI've been made
By myself
By the people
I'm surrounded with
They made me
Who I used to be
Who I am right now
Who I'll become
Yes, that's right. I finally did a self portrait. What a surprise!
Never ever did I dare to draw myself before and this was a huge step for me. I feel exposed.
My hair isn't really that long. Normally it just falls over my shoulders, but I didn't really want to expose my whole self so I made my hair cover some parts of my body.
And the rest is just... well... me.
I hope you like it. I know it's something totally different!
Stuff I used:
Time spent: 9,5 hours
Took the reference pictures myself.
Don't ask me how.
I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now.
This is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself.
Fighting for a chance.
I know now
This is who I really am.
.............EDIT.............
Now available as print!!!

great idea, and you pulled it off with flair and skill
self portraits are hard to start, finish, and share
I applaud you (and it really is lovely)

....i wonder if you took a pix of yourself with your eyes closed and used that as a reference. I've tried drawing myself...I've seen me a thousand times...but for some reason I can never remember exactly how I look when I'm put on the spot. lmao. Very kickass...good job.

well, my eyes were half closed but from a distance they looked closed so eh... yeah
whoa I don't think I'll do this again lol. Drawing yourself is really weird!
Thanks
