Description This is my entry for the London Expo art contest hosted by Sweatdrop Manga Studios.

The theme is "self portrait" so I thought my submission should be a little less than serious.
I decided on using mainly red, black and white, and in that sort of "photo booth snapshot" style".

Prismacolors on Bristol Board.
VERY quickly. Like my entry had to be done 3 days before the event 0_o
And yes, they are all based on REAL photographs of me...

Lovely, it's odd but looking at this you look a lot like a friend of mine. xD

Perfect expressions and colour choice, the top-left snap-shot really seems to be looking back at me (kind of freaky ) and the bottom-left one is absolutely hilarious (so I suppose the left is perfectly balanced ). Good luck!

I do? o_____O

It was nice to do this, as I am usually very self concious of a self portrait, but the silliness seemed to make it easier to draw myself somewhat!

The black, white and red colours really make this stand out, it's very eye-catching and memorable! I'm sure the judges won't forget your entry, it shows a lot of personality and fun!
