Self-Portrait

BEFORE and AFTER

The picture on the right is much better than the one on the left, obviously. :) I included shading on the second one to show the depth of my face. The first picture has a face that is too wide and the features all seem to be too big. The second one is more in proportion to an actual human face. I like the way the hair came out because you can somewhat see the strands of hair. I wish I could have made the ends of the hair look more real and convincing. I like the eyes, nose, and lips because of the dimension. I hope to continue to improve in my drawing skills.

  1. Kelly, I have to say, your self portrait is great. The eyes and mouth are very convincing and the shading was done so that I appears that the light was hitting you on the left side of your face. The shading and the technique you used for the hair was very clever.
    Loooove it!

  2. Kelly this just beautiful! Wow, what a change in the before and after, although with your talent I'm sure you held back a little on the first one. I think you have another career option ahead of you! Great job!
