I realised that it’s been a while since I did a self-portrait, so I decided to do one.

My mum’s response to this was: “You’re cuter in real life,” but I still think I’ve managed to capture the likeness. It also made me realise just how boring I keep my hair, all neat and tidy. I need to mess it up a bit, haha. Make it more interesting.

Drawing smiling people are hard, though. I think I need to do some exercises with different facial expressions, just to get away from my default serious drawing subjects.
