First Cintiq Self Portrait

Made some edits, see a difference??

#Selfie

When studying portraiture, the most reliable model you have is yourself. This year I've painted more selfies than I've ever done before (more to come!) and have discovered all of the hidden colors in the human skin. Who knew desaturated reds and greens were in there? I wouldn't put that shit on my face! ahha.

Here are progress pics of the painting. I took them with my phone which is why it looks a bit wonky but nonetheless is interesting to see!

Holy improvement, Batman! These were all done this year, look how muddy my colors were in the beginning, and how weird my proportions are haha. I still have a lot to learn but I am glad I'm seeing progress. :)

Selfies

Today marks the end of week 4 of Noah Bradley's Art Camp. This week we concentrated on self portraits painted via mirror and/or having someone sit for you as you draw their portrait. I managed to get about three selfies in this week and made sure to improve as I did each one. To show the progression, I will swallow my pride and post them.
