Self-portrait #8 of 100
I propped a mirror up by my computer and drew this self-portrait while watching a movie. It was a very quick sketch and it is only the second that I've done from life. I'm finding that drawing from life is far easier than from photos, where I get bogged down with details. The color scheme is completely fabricated, including the stripes. And I love how they turned out! Originally I titled this sketchbook page 'unkempt me' because I hadn't showered yet and my hair was all over the place. But I didn't really capture that part well, so I cropped it off here. I look like I'm blushing! This one was far more fun than the charcoal one and took far less time!!
