Artist's Comments

This is the best finished piece of artwork I've done (as of now). I was actually proud of it at one point. It's old, done sometime last semester. I cannot recall exactly when.
This was done in an independent-study class period over the course of a few weeks in front of a very large mirror in the corner of the studio. It's fairly close to life size, close enough to claim that it is, anyway. Black and white charcoal pencils on brown paper (the same paper that grocery bags are made out of).

This has been recognized at a juried art competition.

You can download for better detail, but keep in mind that it is so large that a standard photograph has had trouble picking up much detail (and that I've invisible-watermarked the heck out of it). It looks 10 times better in person anyway.

Haha. You can tell when I did a self-portrait by my hair. This is old. The hair in front of my ears is something like twice as long now.

The sweatshirt is my least favorite part and was a complete pain. Every time I sat down the wrinkles were completely different.

I see what you did there. haha
No, but really, it looks like you made yourself larger than you actually are. You're scrawny, stop lying with your self portraits. >:P
Anyways, the folds are amazing, specially on the pants. I can't ever get the folds of pants right.
