Artist's Comments

self portrait on cardboard, acrylics.

spent a lot more time on the face than anything else lol, can you tell?

i still like it, it's the only self portrait i've done that i like, haha.

i wanted to experiment, try to make it look more expressive, not so smooth (which i tend to do...all the time). mmhm. also this was for a small assignment for my art class. we had to choose one of the following options:
1) self portrait using unusual/interesting media
2) self portrait from an unusual angle
3) a series of 3 self portraits in our sketchbooks, each showing a different mood.
i'm not quite sure which category this painting fits into, haha. ohwell, i still got a good grade : D

I don't know how unusual the angle is, but I love painting acrylic on cardboard. It feels so smooth.

This turned out very well. Good Job. :)
(although, the shirt doesn't seem to follow the arm in the back)

This is nice. I wish I had beenable to paint this well when I was 16. Hell, I wish I could paint this well now. :D

interesting touch with the brush.
watch out for the white of your eye, it's distracting. should be more "dirty", more blue in it, like for the shirt.
but well, just a tiny detail. it's a nice work anyways :)
