StarKrafter Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Right, here's the lowdown. I've been inspired to set aside time for drawing a total of one self portrait a day, everyday for three years in order to obtain 1000 self portraits. (Talk about egotistical, eh?) I know of other people who have done this, and it's amazing to see how they progress throughout the years. So that's what I'm in this for. The experience, as well as the fun of it. I also created this thread for anyone who would like to post their self-portraits. So please feel free to do so. ;D Allow me to start, Self Portrait # 1 Drawn from observation, Media Used: Conte Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarKrafter Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Haha, you don't have to attempt what I'm doing. Just post a self-portrait if you have one is all I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron C-T Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Might post mine, if you can tell me the correct way to take a photo of a drawing. I know you're supposed to like.. mount it onto black paper or something. Not sure about the lighting and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarKrafter Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Sorry Scatta. I really don't know the best method for that.. Try the black paper thing with the flash turned on in a room with moderate lighting. That might work. :x Haha, I hope you guys like my face as much as Rael does. Because chances are, you're going to be seeing alot of it.

StarKrafter Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hah! I love it. .. I'm not a rapist. I swear. >_> Why don't you post a self-portrait, Streak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Thunderstorm Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm not good enough. I wouldn't know where to start or what media to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarKrafter Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Nonsense. You don't need expensive art supplies to create self-portraits. A no. 2 pencil and a sheet of printing paper work fine. Not being "good enough" isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Streak took the words right off my keyboard, LOL! But that is sweet! I'm gonna try this myself, I'll upload it when I'm done, I can tell you now, don't expect something like Starkrafter's, but only time will tell. EDIT: Alright, here it is, to be honest this is my very first self-portrait so things may be alittle off, *Shrugs*: ATTACHMENT REMOVED. I would of added color (To my skin) but I believed it would of F@#$ed it up, all comments are welcome. EDIT: I meant for this to merge, I don't know why it stopped doing that.
