47/365 Purple Hoodie

I used the same reference photo as last night. I don't like that most of the shading doesn't show up in the scan, but oh well. I also added the actual photo used.

45/365 Close Up

This one was also done like the other one tonight (44/365). I just had to play with it some more.

44/365

This was done with a fine point sharpie and a fat Marks-a-lot. I took the Marks-a-lot and cut the end so it was more like a brush. I like the effect that it gives the piece.

42/365

This was done late last night, too late to mess with posting. This was my first attempt at using graphite. A lot of the light shading didn't show up in the scan, oh well. I likes using this but I need to get something to seal it with before I continue to use it on a regular basis.

40/365 Reflections

The way we see ourselves is not the way that the rest of the world sees us. Most people only see what we allow them to see, what we put out there for them. Is this truly who we are? No. Each of us are more complex than that. We all have inner struggles and demons. We have to learn to allow loved ones to help us with those struggles, that's what they are there for. We also have to remain who we are at heart and never feed our demons.

39/365 The New Me

This is supposed to be a learning experience. From this point forward I am going in a different direction. All will still be self portraits, but I am going to be more creative and put some heart into it. Some of these may be a little abstract, some might be a little raw, some might be ideas for future projects. I am going to experiment with a larger variety of tools (once I purchase some).

All comments are welcomed, however don't just tell me you like it, tell me why. Don't just tell me you hate it, tell me why. Thank you all.

38/365 Valentine

The small amount of red crayon on my chin is a contribution from my two and a half year old daughter (when I wasn't looking). Happy Valentines Day.
