Description Self-portrait upon request with imaginary clothes. Everything else is within proportion (yes, I swear: I'm disproportionate, not the picture). I hope to skip a discussion as to how this could look better; I will forever remain a person who has the face of an old lady, the significant features of a woman and the general silhouette of a little girl. But the point of an autoportrait is to draw it as it is, not to draw it so as to make it look perfect.

But, on the other hand, I usually tend to draw myself more hideous than I am in reality, so I was kindly asked by a friend to draw myself in a pleasant way for a change. And, there is a conceptual purpose to the imaginary slutty clothes in pink. It's a part of my soul revealed I've kept hidden from myself for many years now.

"If love is vile, then I will make it pink," my friend had said. Hence the color. Notice how much it doesn't fit the jaded, die-hard expression on the face. It's a tale of innocence and experience. One does not exclude the other.

Here, I only seem to like my ears, because they look freaking weird.

Thanks and yeah, I'm doing great - a bit busy with university, though, that's why I delay all the replies so much :/

She doesn't have the face of an old lady - don't listen to her. And she has this bad habit to insult all of her work or better - herself So don't trust her when she says things like this

*grin* love the jaded, utterly unimpressed look you've got going there.
You're right, life is complicated, contradictory, and symbolically pink knickers don't rule out leaden thoughts, nor vice versa.

Glad you noticed - it was the main idea.

Indeed, I suppose my bitter experience in life has left me so cynical, jaded and, well, bitter, that even something as pink knickers can't dampen this impression. When the model wears pink, she doesn't get pinker. Instead, pink loses most of its pinkness.

Your picture looks really awesome! And no, I don't have the feeling you have the face of an old lady. Well, I don't know you in person, but on this picture you seem to be young
And I don't think there's something wrong with the proportions. It's a perfect picture you can be proud of!

Well, I was speaking metaphorically... I still happen to be young, so I suppose I had to draw myself because I won't always look this young But, generally, it's about inner experience, feeling old inside. That's what I meant. Hope it doesn't show.
