So, my Leaving Cert is over and I finally got back to drawing! What a wonderful feeling to have all the time in the world, to just sit there and draw for hours... I really missed this!
I apologize for not updating my blog very often but you know, studying and all sorts of school shennanigans were in the way.
But now, I finally took out my polychromos and drew... myself.
Not because I'm vain or anything. Some people write autobiographies, artists create their self-portraits. So basically, I decided to do that as a sort of, warm up before I draw more this summer. I had quite a long break from art so this was a nice practice. Also, I wanted to draw a person and I didn't really know who to draw so I settled on the idea of drawing myself :)
Doesn't look completely like me but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Now all I'm worrying about is how fast my tints and shades of brown polychromos will be gone... They're just so expensive and everytime I need to sharpen them a part of my soul dies... Argh, the struggle ;)

So here is my self-portrait based on the photoshoot I had for my portfolio.
