Contemplation (2010). Colored pencil.I don't think I've ever done a realistic self-portrait, so I did this one in colored pencil. I called it Contemplation, because it's inspired by Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer by Rembrandt.
This drawing table surface shows the process.
Here I am with the finished product. Come to think of it, this photograph is a Triple Self-Portrait. Boy, this one is going to be hard to draw!
Nice drawing - I really like seeing the gridded photo, colored photo and finished product all together. The photo of you holding up the drawing gives us viewers lots of information, too.
