Title: "Me!"
Medium: 10" X 13.5" Paper and Pencil
When I was told to draw a self portrait I was extremely intimidated by the thought of it. I love to draw and paint, but people are way harder than the cartoons that i have made in the past, but once i started it was a lot more relaxing than i thought it would be. I found a picture of myself on my computer that I feel really shows my personality, which i thought was important since it's a self portrait and should show who I am not just what i look like. This picture was taken of me at my best friend's birthday party and as you can see I was just having a great time. I love to laugh and in this picture that is exactly what I am doing. So, after I found the picture that I wanted, I went online to a photo editing site and used to effects to change the photo to a drawing on my computer. Then, I printed that out and started to draw. As I drew, I grew more confident in my work and really started to relax and enjoy the process. This assignment really made me step out of my comfort zone and draw something a bit more challenging than I would have usually done, and it showed me that I am capable of doing more complex art. I added one of my favorite quotes to the picture because there was a lot of blank space and I thought that the quote fit well with what i had drawn. It is a quote from Walt Disney and says, "laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever."=)
