Self Portrait



In my freshman art class in college, I had to draw a self portrait. It didn't remotely resembly me. I remember contemplating how difficult it is to draw someone you see so often. I have also discovered over the years that drawings of people with strange facial features are quite easy to make look realistic. A couple of days ago, I saw a profile photo of me and declared "hey, that is a view of myself I rarely see - and I look like a troll - I bet I could draw my profile much better than I could draw myself facing forward." So, I sat down and did it in Microsoft Paint during conference. What do you think?

Close - but you drew yourself like you will look in 30 years...you don't have a turkey chin yet - yours is much more prominent - from one who knows~ smile

Well, first of all, I don't think you look like a troll, but Gary and I are very impressed!

Now Gary has an idea of something he can do during GC in October!

The drawing is good! I think you look like Rock Hudson. Check it out the next time you see an old movie with him in it... the way you both walk, etc. too.
