Description I've been drawn
I'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:
  • H, HB, B, 2B & 3B mechanical pencils

  • tissues and tortillions for blending

  • regular eraser

  • A4 sketchbook

  • 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.

    Mistress of Realism... yay.

    Brave move- I find that self-portraits tend to speak volumes about the artist. What they think of themselves...how they see themselves. This is no different, I think. It's rather beautiful, and a very cool concept Well done!

    You're quite welcome

    LoL Silly peoples... They should know that self-portraits are more about expression of the artist's view of themselves- inwardly. Ah well ^^ I guess it works out if they still like the pictures??
