Ok, so I did this off the source pic that shows up on my blogger profile. It's close to what I look like, but it ain't no bananas. Maybe if I had a brother this is what he would look like; or not. I don't know. It might be closer if I stretched it horizontally in my photo editor, but that would be cheating. Wouldn't it?
Hmmmm... I don't know if it would be cheating or not. S'pose if nobody knew ...
ReplyDelete:-D We haven't seen you in a while! I really like this one -- self portraits are TOUGH!
I can see some differences between the sketch and your photo, but I still like the sketch. Like the way you handled the planes of light. I often wonder what it means to like a sketch of someone when it doesn't quite capture the essence of them, but it happens often that I do a sketch of someone that doesn't completely capture them, and I still like the sketch itself. The palette you chose is really nice, too. (P.S. I read recently that for some reason, it's a very common error to make the nose significantly longer than it actually is. Not only that, but the proportion by which the nose is lengthened is often very much the same from artist to artist.)
ReplyDeleteGOOD JOB, Jim!! I miss seeing your great art!! Hope you get back to it soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim;
ReplyDeleteI like your self portrait! It might not be exactly like you, but it's recognizable as you. If it was exactly you wanted - well, you already have the photograph! And really, the point is you tried!
Well done.
Hi Jim;
ReplyDeleteI really like your self-portrait! Maybe it's not exactly like you, but it definitely is recognizable as you. If you wanted an exact likeness-well, you already have the photograph! The point is you tried, and it's quite good!
Well done.
Oh I like this. And it's you alright. And that chinese stamp is nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI like it. You have a nice style. The shadows are great!
ReplyDeleteI like it! I think I would recognize it as looking like you avatar if I spotted it somewhere. Good Job!
