Description This is an OLD pre-AP piece. I drew it right after "Progress and Such." Ugh, I loathe loathe loathe the face on this one. At the time I had drawn very few realistic, or even non-anime, faces and it shows. Still, the rest of it took so long it would be a shame not to post it. The boots were fun. <3 I was also rather proud of the hat, because the thing was so weirdly textured it terrified me, but it came out ok, I think.

Prismacolor colored pencil
The girl's me, though it looks nothing at all like me. XD The hair's even the wrong color because of the lighting in the picture. The photo was taken by my friend and fellow AP student. The background was HEAVILY modified. I was sitting in front of a red brick/blank wall...not the tedious inverted brick monstrosity I created.

I love the details on the boots! Come to think of it the hat and socks too. They've got some very nice texture going on. A very successful composition, especially with the green designs behind you.

Don't you love it when drawings of yourself don't look anything like you? XD

Thanks! Ha, I remember during my first self-portrait class assignment I brought some friends to the art room to see it. All the class's pictures were lined up on the wall, and one asked, "So which one's yours?" XD Not what you want to hear when it's supposed to look like you.

Oh man...yeah no kidding! It's like thanks for the boost of confidence, friends. One of the many reasons self-portraits are so stressful...D:

The background is cool. The shoes are looking pretty sweet.

Thanks! The shoes were what inspired the picture...they obviously got preferential treatment come coloring time!

Thanks! And sorry for kind of flooding you with uploading deviations. It'll slow down significantly once I work through the backlog of my AP portfolio. ^^'
