Self Portrait Progression


This is the first self portrait I ever did using pencil, paint and ink. This image is very cartoon like and unrealistic. I have drawn what I thought I saw rather than what I actually saw - and have drawn the features very stereotypically and not truely representational.



The second self portrait I did was created using pencil. I have again drawn the features quite stereotypically and not spent much time adding detail to the areas which needed it such as the face.


 


 


I think that my third self protrait is a big improvement on my first two. Although there isn't much detail in the image, I spent a lot of time on the eyes making them look as realistic as possible and not cartoony. Here is a close up of the eyes ^


 


This is my fourth self portrait and I think it is my best to date. Although I prefer the eyes from my third attempt I think this is generally better because it looks most like me and I spent a lot of time on it adding detail.
