Artist's Comments

i was stuck in a gigantic rut today and felt like drawing some realism to get out of it. i always end up doing self-portraits when i get that urge though, because i prefer doing realism from life than from photos! for me it's more challenging to get colors/forms down that way. also in all my other self portraits i never get my face right. so yet again... for the hundredth time... a self portrait.

haha it's creepy... i never realized how much i looked like my mom until i saw the thumbnail for this :b

drawn in photoshop 7.0 with a wacom tablet, textures from [link] for tips on how to texturize check out [link]

p.s sorry if you're getting this twice or whatever. deviantart sucks ass and isn't submitting the right files and all that fun stuff. yay for slow overcomplicated sites.

Let me say this portrait has a Normal Rockwell quality. It looks simply awesome.

You are an amazing artist, and a source of inspiration to me.

I've said this once, and I'll say it again... you have such a cute nose. x]
Nicely done realism! And without a reference too? Amazing work. :3 I really like. Especially how you have it as a reflection of you.

It's nice to hear someone else say that they don't like to draw from life... you did a really great job with the eyes. You also have a real knack for colors.

Actually real great likeness (from looking at your ID pic), though it looks like you may have gotten a slight tan for the portrait :)
