i'm sick and tired of doing this freaking toonboom project and so frustrated because I want to DRAW dangit. So pop goes openCanvas and out comes some crappy self portrait that I did from memory of looking at myself my whole life and it doesn't even look like me. Its the eyes, they're too made up and I think they're too high. But I don't have a reference and I don't much care, so its done and its here hurrah
Are you looking for constructive criticism or a pat on the back? Relax, everyone goes thru maddeningly busy moments and frustrations and such ... and then before you know it, the sun comes out again.
Good luck on your interview. Let me know how it goes.
The interview was no sweat, I got in easy, but it was still a little nervous talking to the boss because I'd heard stories about him and I know how important first impressions are.
And I wasn't looking for anything on this picture. I needed to vent some art. I've got this overwhelming backup of drawing, writing, reading.... I want to do everything except work, but the only thing I can do IS work. There's no way I'm going to finish this project by tomorrow now so less stress is happening at the moment. I'm hoping the homework for the rest of the semester is on a smaller scale
I like this a lot, I really love how you played with the colors. It actually looks really natural. It's not a bad rendering of you, but I agree, there's something with the eyes. I think they're too big and, yes, too high. And your hair has more wave. But it's lovely.
I was thinking about that the other day, you know, if we saw ourselves just walking down the street or something, would we even recognize it as being ourselves? Maybe we've talked about this before, but really. No one recognizes one's self less than.. one's self. Mirrors lie worse than anything else.

Good luck with everything! Hope things are much less crazy for you now!
