Self Portrait...?

I think I mentioned this in previous posts, but doing a self portrait has been one of my biggest challenges. I just can't seem to get it right. I even try to simplify like I have seen so many of my fellow artists do, but then it just looks like I drew a brunette woman instead of myself. When I try to be realistic it never looks right either. I'm going to keep trying till I get it right though. Here is my latest attempt.

Counting down the hours till I start school again for my final semester. I can't help but feel like this semester could really make or break me... My primary concern is that I will do my best and it won't be good enough. I wonder how often other artists feel this way.

C'est La Vie!

Paul Bunyon


Some more photoshop practice. I've been getting a lot of inspiration from the website drawergeeks.com. This is Paul Bunyon as a youngster.

Coming off a very nice weekend celebrating my hubby and I's first year anniversary at my Grandmother's beach house in Morro Bay. Wish we had been there more than a day and a half, it would have been nice to have some time to paint or draw something. My step-grandfather is an artist and his paintings are all over the house. Lot's of inspiration that makes me want to grab a brush and get to work!

Everyone tells us the first year of marriage is the hardest. I told my husband that if the past year was the hardest then we should be pretty good for the future!

The Chic Chef

Here's some more digital painting practice. This is after I discovered Sarah Mensinga. She's my new favorite artist!

The face is very similar to Sarah's stuff, but I put her in a Chef's outfit because I've been watching a lot of cooking shows lately. I'm a sucker for Master Chef. It's just so neat to see what they come up with!

Starting school next week. Hopefully this will be my last semester. I'm trying to think happy thoughts and not scared out of my mind thoughts!

Chow for now!
