Description
My very first traditional self painting portrait. This is a rush job, but I think it works. Most of my paintings look unfinished most of the time, so why can't this one? Painting is hard!

As usual, I tend to go off the beaten path and do things differently than what is required from my class assignments. I wanted to make my self look epic haha. I wanted to have red mist coming from my eyes too, but...I was hesitant. It's not like photoshop, where I can make as many mistakes as I want and, with the touch of a undo button, can erase the mistake as if it never happen. Can't do that with traditional painting however. If I make a mistake, I have to wait for the paint to dry and then paint over it. So, it kinda waste more time. Digital painting is so much easier...
