I started here...
Then it all fell apart. I think the multimedia artboard I was using was part of the problem - the other was just an ill-conceived plan. But fear not, internet. I'll make it do something. And I have a question for you...is it completely narcissistic of me to continue to do self-portraits when I want to do a portrait? I keep thinking it's a matter of convenience and frugality, but sometimes I start to worry...
And I still need to add in a thrift store session or two, I think.
Hmmm.
This is a scan of a tracing of a pencil drawing I did of myself...
Good work!!! Actually -- this would make a great avatar, if you ever decide to change yours. Sorry your big plans fell apart though ... do I have an idea about what you are planning?
ReplyDeleteAnd your limited self portraits are NOT narcissistic ... I would call it practical.
LOL! If I looked as pretty as you, I'd have no problem doing self portraits! Seriously, I don't see why not, it's all practice. Btw, Robert Genn wrote that sometimes stating your goals can actually take the wind out of the sails, a 'diffusing of motivation' I know it's true for me. (The article was called Silence is Golden, one of the few that I could relate to! ;))
ReplyDeleteGosh we must have had a mind meld today because this is how I was feeling. I should have walked away from my drawing but I persisted...foolish. I finished it but not happy with it. This looks great to me but I do understand that 'create a masterpiece' mindset....Silly me!
