Description Another self portrait, egocentric of me perhaps, but I hadn't anyone else to draw. So, funny thing: this is actually a drawing of my reflection in a silver platter... my head on a silver platter, ha ha...
This is a good, albeit non-flattering (according to my mother), likeness.
charcoal on tinted paper.

Isn't that odd? I can't ever seem to make drawings look like myself, either. Maybe we should draw eachother.

I don't think I was too far off this time...
You can draw me anytime and I would try to draw you, but I'm not sure I could capture all that personality on one piece of paper... it would be easier with paint. Yeah, you would have to be in color; Black and white just wouldn't do.

A brief glimpse into my inner psyche? Ha Ha Actually, I was in a... not bad exactly, but intense mood when I drew that one. Mom says I should draw one of me smiling, but I don't smile when I'm drawing. I'm too busy concentrating!

Very different from the previous one. Also expressive, that's for sure, but this one expresses sth else - focus, tension. Down, your hair mixes a bit with your neck. Maybe you should differ a bit more skin and hair. I don't know, that's just a hint, maybe even wrong one.

I appreciate that. Yeah, I wasn't very happy with the left (in the drawing) side of the face... it definately needs some work.

I like it, there is a good use of lights and darks co-mingled here, this is natural looking rather than looking like a plastic doll ^__^

Thanks! If any of my drawings look like plastic dolls, please let me know... that doesn't sound like a happy thing...
