Ahhh, I looove Tezuka. I just finished reading his Buddha series. By the way your art seems to be branching out with your commissions. Congrats

Thank you for your comment!
Oh do you? I think "Buddha"'s one of his masterpieces. Have you read "Phoenix"? This series is much longer than "Buddha" but they have a lot of commons.

Well I think you've got some good recipes going. And I'm a little like you in my knack for drawing many self portraits.
Yeah Buddha definitely is a masterpeice. I read Phoenix 1 and my girlfriend is in the process of renting the series.

Such a beautiful young woman, I love your self portraits. Each one shows something different about you. I especially love this one, your eyes are so expressive. ~sigh~ Wish I had been born Japanese, maybe then I would be beautiful too.

Maybe so, but for some reason I find the Japanese and Asians in general are more beautiful than most others.

Your eyes are so big. So did you do the self-portrait from a photograph or by looking in a mirror?

NO no I like the big eyes it adds such emotion that smaller eyes would not. I asked about the photograph and mirror because I have tried since college..20 years ago, to draw a self portrait. I did manage to do one in college and the teacher came right out and very snooty said..that does not look anything like you. I replied that was what I saw in the mirror. Needless to say I did not get a good grade for it. Since I have tried about once a year or so to do the self portrait and in my mind failed every time. I have tried to do them from a mirror and from photograph but I start picking apart my own features.

Do they...? Glad to hear that
The teacher sucks! I think self-portrait doesn't have to show its painter's looks because I think if somebody possessed my body, my face won't look same... Anyway this is a study to draw face so I tried hard to draw what I see in mirror though.
My school have ordered seniors to paint their own self-portrait before their graduation for more than hundred years ago and last month there was an exhibition for the long project... There were a so many kinds of self-portraits!! A student even handed in a cellphone he was using in school life. So, who knows what is self-portrait is exactly!?
