Self Portraits: An Expressive Exercise

Using your own face as your subject matter is not only good practice for your drawing skills, which always needs honing, but it is also fun to change your personality through exaggeration and creative use of color, and line.  I am posting a whole series of them that I did and you can see that although I am having fun I am still being serious to the look and features that are unique to me.  Try this and let your alter ego come out.

  1. Hello Steve. I’m glad you prowl us again. I loved this series of several self-portraits. As I know you by photos, with these paintings and drawings, it seems to me as as we have seen in reality some time in somewhere. I’ve tried do it with myself and nor I recognize me. Thank you very much for sharing. Respectfully Mercedes
