Self Portrait Sketch

This was a little game where you had to take a picture of yourself holding a drawing of yourself.

Finish the Self Caricature

This self caricature was originally sketched a few years ago. I showed the black and white process in an earlier post. Yesterday I finished the color and so it's finally ready to be uploaded. I did have to tweak some things so it took a little more time than I had planned, but that was just a technical glitch, the painting of this went fine. I spent about eight to nine hours finishing this up over the past two days.

Self Portrait

I am working on my self portrait. I actually drew this a while back, but left it black and white. So now I'm going to add some color and hopefully use it as my profile picture and possibly for business cards or whatever else it will fit into. I'm pretty happy with it so far after about two hours of working on the color.
