draw a self portrait

I am currently sorting out my priorities as part of my give up apathy goal.

I’m not giving up on the goal, I’m just moving it to ‘Regularly feed my creative side’ to have as an ongoing thing that I will eventually achieve… but right now I am focusing on the more important stuff

I draw a self-portrait of myself back in school (art class). I wouldn’t consider myself a talented artist… but it was worth it.

i wanna learn how to draw self portraits so i can impress my GF

i drew this picture last week of me and my boyfriend, and i think i’ve drawn him well but i just made myself look TERRIBLE!!

this isn’t a picture of the final drawing because it needs a lot of work doing to it still, but basically it was this that made me decide i need to draw a self portrait because it’s surprisingly difficult!!

i find that if you’re particularly self conscious about something then this can be over or under exaggerated in a drawing. this is a goal that i really want to acheive soon!!!

I have always liked drawing. When I was in school me and my friends filled the lessons mostly with drawing eyes instead of paying attention to the teacher (something I resent now very much because I’m a teacher now myself). Especially my friend was very skilled in drawing eyes. After a few years we began to draw whole faces. My friend mostly drew faces of famous people from magazines and I liked to draw faced from pictures. I did some photo’s of myself during that time. In one of my last years in school I had to make a painting and the topic had to be ‘myself’. So I painted my own face. It worked out very well, most of the kids in school recognized me as ‘the girl with the long hair’.

I wanna give that for gift

for how great this is. ;)

i want to make a portrait for my family

I drew a self portrait awhile ago. I think it was worth doing, it makes you see yourself in a new light. I have low self confidence honestly and don’t always see myself the way others see me. But when I drew a self portrait I realized how wrong I am sometimes. For me it was beneficial and boosted my confidence, odd as that may sound. It really does help you learn more about yourself. I think everyone should draw a self portrait once in their life.
