Artist's Comments

Finished. So... I decided to do an annual portrait of myself starting at age 18. This is to see both my change in appearance and progress in skill. (I turned 19 in the middle of this drawing, but oh well, lol.)

The hair didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but it did turn out better than I expected. Definitely going to need lots more practice with hair before I am satisfied with my hair-drawing ability. I actually made most of it up because it was getting too tedious.

10 hours
9H, 7H, HB, B, 2B, 5B, 6B pencils
mechanical 0.7mm #2 pencil
stick, kneaded, plastic, and electric erasers
tortillions and tissues for blending

It's approximately 9 x 7 in.

Here's the reference photo (taken by myself): [link]

Edited out a white line (that my scanner puts on everything it scans) in photoshop. (Look at WIPs to see what I mean.)
The scanner also blurred the top and bottom of the scan.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.
