Because there is nothing as fun as cutting loose and having a go at capturing your own likeness on paper, I offer this self portrait. Much like the contour drawings these are done for the sheer enjoyment of just trying something that you thought you couldn't do. If like me you find hair hard to draw, throw a scarf on your head, then purely in the spirit of play take out some paint, markers, pencils and pretend like you are in 2nd grade all over again. I'm pretty sure you'll have a good time.
can i borrow that scarf and glasses and lip liner when i come out?

Only if you sit for a portrait by me with them on and agree to let me post it right here!

This is really great! I tried the contour method, with not terrific results. Being a glutton for punishment, I'll try this too! I think it could just be that you are so much cuter! :)
