First entry so hope I don’t embarrass myself too badly. :) I recently drew this for an art class at school using a mirror. It looks pretty much like me—the imaginary part is that I never look this relaxed and calm. :)

Work in Progress [although I wish I'd saved more steps]

Creation Moment

Portrait of my Inner Child

I still view myself as a happy-go-lucky five-year-old.

Inspiration/memories

Please check out the High Res File and theOriginal Drawing

I have always wished that I could be some kind of hero. Dark, interesting, strong, and capable.

In this picture, I combined aspects of a few of my favourite heroes (and some twists of my own) to create my ideal self-portrait.

I realise that the picture is quite dark, and you might struggle to see it properly if any light is reflecting on your screen. :( Sorry about that!

Please view full if you have time. :)

Lately I've been wishing I could be on an island where I could paint as much as I wanted without the real world responsibilities cutting in.

Why I made my mouth and jaw look like Shrek, I don't know...

Original Sketch
I took a picture of the sketch I drew and made the adjustments in photoshop.
Any critique would be greatly appreciated.

This was made quickly on MsPaint, I like it's simplicity and bad quality, it gives a style to simple drawings.
