If there is something Ive been practicing on is it drawing portraits. Sure it can be quite a boring artform, til the day you nail it! But drawing is like anything, and to keep it freash you better practice and practice, like with anything in your life. Like I have done with nothing in my life since depression has always caught up to me.
Enough with that, and more about drawing portraits. Im right now quite satisfied with my drawing besides the failing angles and eyes without motion. Especially when it comes to my very own portrait. Do I not know how I look? I started compairing my look throughout my life, and no I don't have a consistent look nor any special features, quite regular, besides my nose that looks like a pussy because of the line on the end of my nose. Yupp there is a word for it in my dictionary and its fittnäsa, directly translated pussynose. Like a cats nose I guess cause they have the same line. I thought I was a cat in another life!

Okay, so portrait. Put on so makeup today, trying to enhance my features but I wanna be able to do portraits of people without makeup, bare fleash cause its a lot harder and its the real self. The thing is doing your own portrait is hard since you are your worst critic ever, and you probably enhance or minimize features you dont like about yourself. What about seeing someone for who they really are and translate that into a picture? Still hard, especially eyes, skin, expression and emotion. Gosh, guess I just have to keep on drawing and maybe one day I can come up with one good portrait.
Here are the ones where I took different parts of the portraits that I was happy with, and combined them. The one with to girls is suppose to portray me and my best friend Alex. Sure, you can see its Alex but I look like a completely different person, a rare bird, definitely rare. I think my problem is that I get stuck on details instead of watching the whole picture. Guess its common for me in everyday life, Focusing on those little negative details instead of the full picture.
