A Self Portrait

So I have been wanting to do a Photoshop self portrait in a similar style to this portrait I did of a friend's girlfriend. I've been at it for a while, but every time I start one I begin to hate it before I'm even half way done. Anyways, I finally sat down and made one that actually kind of looks like me. I'm not sure that I like it too much, but I think that's because after a while I get sick of looking at myself. I'd much rather draw cartoony pictures of myself. Anyways, you can see the final painting below. Let me know what you think.



Below are some of failures I was talking about before.



After finally finishing the realistic painting of myself I decided to color this little doodle, to make myself feel better. I actually think this one looks most like me.

Ink on Cardboard

Two Quick Little Watercolors

So, for my birthday I got a Blick gift card, so I decided to use it to finally put together a little portable watercolor kit. It includes a small pocket watercolor sketchbook, a small portable watercolor pallette with watercolors, a tiny brush, and a tiny bottle of water. I put all of the supplies in a ziplock bag with a couple of napkins and I'm ready to go.


I've only done two little ditties, but I thought I'd share them with you.

This one I painted while looking into the vanity mirror above the passenger seat of John's car on the way to my parent's house.

I did this one while drawing a bath.

Portrait

A friend of mine commissioned me to do a portrait of his girlfriend for her birthday. I had to use a bunch of photographs as reference, because I never met her, but I think it turned out pretty good. My friend who commissioned me said it looks like her.

I used this as good photoshop painting practice.

A Quick Little Lip-sync

Just a quick little straight ahead lip-sync I did for fun in Flash. The dialogue is from the movie Kick-Ass.

Diana

At least that's what I'm calling her for now. Just a character I've been doodling.

My Costume

I also made a Dr Facilier costume for myself. Don't know why I enjoy dressing up like dudes so much.

Noh! Face!

Spent half of the day making a Noh Face costume for my boyfriend for Halloween. I think it turned out pretty decent.

Writing Drawing Bathing

Doing a bit of Tub Journaling. Just an exercise to clear my head.




Even when I am relaxing I feel like I have to be mutitasking.

Three Heads Are
