So i've been watching while she goes through her 30 Day Challenge, and she was awesome enough to pass the challenge on to me. It's all stuff i USED to draw, and there's no damn reason for me to do it again, now that my skillset has widened a bit.

This is the first of the thirty drawings i will be doing for the next month: The Self Portrait. The ink on the shoulder is fictional: this was an excuse to draw out some of the ideas i've had for tattoos i want to get. It's not really where i want it, but for the purpose of the challenge, it'll do. It's been a long time since i've done any kind of realism too, so it was a bit of a challenge just in execution since it's never really been a strong suit of mine.

EDIT: This is now available as a print and goodies here: [link]

Wow. The likeness is very uncanny!!! You did an amazing job with your portrait. I'm not sure how i feel with the line for the top. I feel the black outline makes it very cartoony...perhaps it should be the color of the top.

Overall I feel it's a very strong piece.
