Hi!
I ain't in Portugal yet.Going in November after I see Sananda in concert.
So at the moment just makin music,filming and painting.
I thought it would be cool to see you all make a self portrait.
I've seen threads like.."post your pic" etc.
But I thought it would be cool to make a painting,drawing,sculpture,doodle or whatever of yourself.
Use whatever medium ya want.
I hope alot of you reply.
I'm working on a selfportrait in oilpaint after years..I use to make alot of selfportraits in the ole days.
This one is in the making.I'll post the final painting but letting it dry now and looking at it alot.Dunno if I wanna make it smooth or keep it raw.
Hope you all make one too!
Would be cool!!!

Once you add the deepest shadows, like between the lips, nostrils and probably the eye sockets, (If you plan to) the rest will seem smooth in contrast, but keep it raw. It's nice. Good thread idea.

I plan to do what you said.
But I wanna let it dry just in case I screw it up.
I can always remove the new layer.
Just being a bit cautious cause it's been a while.
Hope you make one too!!!

How did you know...
I mean, what makes you think that this is all I do with my life?

Maybe I'll do a sketch.

Maybe some inspiration to make a self portrait.
I found this in google.
Some lines go through ur mind when making a portrait.



Self-portrait

by J. Kaiser

Anger driven emotions,
hidden by my insanity.
Deep thoughts and insights,
blocked by the confusion.
Timid, shy, careless masked
by boisterous claims and paranoia.
Love for a woman,
repressed by the hate of myself.
Young, innocent, naive,
forced to grow up too quickly.
Kept in chains until
my mind is released by drugs.
Wrapped in guilt and sorrow,
but forced to act happy for my brother.
My mouth spews forth insults,
all really meant for me.
Weakness, vulnerability, and intimacy,
killed by pain.
Self-esteem lowered by
manic-depression and trapped by
my very being,
my words here written, my dreams,
my thoughts, my feelings,
my insanity, my pain, SET ME FREE




*Sometimes when people make a self portrait they hang it on a wall or destroy it.
Emile

Girdle said:

Please, I can barely draw a stick figure, let alone a portrait!

But I like what you've done with yours so far.....very nice.

I also like this one of Joni's:

Hi Karen,
I made a quick doodle of you!





Send me ur pic..I'll make you like a botticelli.

stick figures are ok...anything goes here.

Come onnn!!!

emile57 said:

Love the pigtails!

emile57 said:

Were you expecting these self portraits to happen today?
I'm contemplating going out tonight. If I don't, then maybe. If not, sometime in the next couple of days.

take ur time.
Doodles take 10 seconds.

emile57 said:

OK, this is my 10 second doodle, but I'm not sure who she is!
