Day three hundred and thirty-four: A discussion among students visiting the study room this afternoon about self-portraiture in prints reminded me that I haven’t sketched a proper self-portrait yet this year. At least not that I remember being any sort of serious attempt at a realistic representation of myself. This self-portrait was made in brown pencil for those of my artistic friends more fond of brown than black. I think it looks mostly of like me, but is still a bit off. I had to work and rework the ears and nose a few times to get even this close. Even so, since I haven’t really practiced portraiture at all, I’m generally pleased with the result. When I have more time some day in the future, I may try again, and see if I can improve myself.
