This self portrait is one of my first paintings. i was only just getting familiar with paint and how to use it; this was the painting that made me like painting. my drawing is pretty bad: the proportions are weird, i dont have quite as much an alien forehead in real life, and the colors are off, i didnt paint myself quite so blue. i will complain of course that this photo doesnt do the painting justice, but it's pretty close. i remember being amazed at how i made my mouth and chin have definition, and the rough unpolished stilo of the shirt im wearing dims down to bring more attention to the face. im so cute.
