Forgive the occasional wild and feral look in my CRAZY CRAZY eyes . . . Too much coffee and too little nutrition leading up to this: _{(Still, it was a beautiful day.:))}

01 Self-Portraits: 01.17-23.10

January 27th, 2010 | Published in art, photos, self-portraits

Goals:

1. Work on a drawn/sketched/painted self-portrait each day (and finish it *ideally*- but I’m going to go ahead ‘n start out lazy ‘n not hold myself to anything for now . . .)
2. Take a self-portrait photo once a month (inspired by/as part of a whitechapel thread)

1. The images for last week . . . Ouch. Pretty rusty. Just focused on some sketching, really:

I’ll let higher quality images stand alone if they happen.

I had a professor who recommended this daily-self-portrait goal (a few years ago, while I was still at Uni). With the right materials and a good system, it’s pretty easy to bang out some great stuff within just fifteen minutes. I’ve created some powerful self-portraits before in under five . . . Just gotta remember how to let it flow . . .

For now, most of my focus is already going to Edgewater.

2. The photo for this month:

(Taken right before doing the 01/22/10 sketch. Heh, chin’s looking a bit pudgy. I’ve been pretty broke and living off noodles, so my body hasn’t been thriving as much as usual, but I’m getting that all sorted out.
