[update]

well, i scrapped my grafitti idea due to miserable weather, and my multimedia video projection idea was short lived as my bulb blew out in my opaque projector ._.

so instead this is my solution:
acrylic, ink, gesso, bleach
on six 16x20" canvases (40x48")

Awesome. I've only ever done self-portraits twice before, and one was as a grade 5 art project.

I'll be starting at the stroke of midnight. This will be fun.

[Form]

I just moved into a new studio today - perfect time to record the start of a new journey. Its been a pretty intimidating, crazy first day. Im shit scared, but loving it. Cant wait to see all the self portraits when the rest of you guys wake up!

This was a mixed media. It was about 25 minutes of oils - reference in a mirror. And then just under an hour in photochop, no longer looking at the reference.

[Brain]

My goodness me. Just popped in for a visit and saw this. It's been too phenomenally long since I've done any proper art, but I had to chime in. Hopefully this'll get me crankin' things out again. Super impressed at everyone's so far! @:-D

Reference off my laptop's webcam. Painted using Artweaver (http://www.artweaver.de/). Roughly 30mins.

Might try and pop another one out after I get back from Oktoberfest tonight. (yeah, go figure)

Awesome to see this rush of self-portraiting! I definitely wanted to play too - planned to do more than one to make up for the fact that this isn't a normal self-portrait (missing glasses, wig), but the photo made me want to do some digital paint practice and add flowy red curtains, so I indulged myself (and then ran out of time to do more because I need a lot more practice with digital painting so this took way longer than it would have for the rest of you good people ^_^)

This thread is full of some truly amazing self-portraits.

Seemed like a good excuse for a first post...
Photoshop CS3, webcam for reference.

[rv_el]

Finally after 2 years of missing this i remembered it (thanks to a memo site, hehe). Just a black and white. Its been quite a while.

The portraits are amazing guys! great stuff!

:::-PS CS3 and a new Mirror that when i got home i realized that it makes my head look wide.. woops :)

Terrific to see everyone thus far in all their self-portrait glory! Some really great stuff! I've been sick, so was moving.really.slow. today, hence the lateness of turning in my piece.

great self portraits everyone!!! Man i had this all planned out today but as luck would have it, i contracted a 101 fever, yet that did not stop me from producing some line work.

Gouache on paper
from memory (the lazy eyes were done for humor, my eyes are straight i promise!!) ;)

[Psypomp]

Oomgawa, you are beautiful! And rv_el.. I really dig the texture of your beard. It reminds me of light hitting a thickly-painted oil painting.
Wow, I'm almost too late.
Here it is, a little 15-min sketch, done in Prismacolors. Used mirror. I look a little deer-caught-in-headlights, don't I?

Great images, everyone.

Photoshop + photo ref, since the mirror is in the bathroom and also because I can't float in real life.

Going to come back and look at them all when my internet isn't acting like dialup! Seen some great ones already. Cheers to everyone who did one!

potoshop/painter X from reference...about an hour

[FinalKnight]

O_O wasn't planning on doing this, but I looked at the clock, and it was only 10:30 pm, so I thought - whatever, I still have time!

About 1 hour in painter. Turned off all the lights in my room and painted from the glow of my laptop.

Chickened out on the colour though :(!

Well,


Here we are again, another year, it seems like the day before yesterday. It's been a year since I've taken such a deep look in the mirror, on the outside there are more wrinkles, less hair, but behind the eyes there are so many more memories.

Its such a pleasure to see so many beautiful old and familiar faces. This is the best year yet!

My gratitude to Oblio for creating this day for us.


To know thy self........


I began this one a little after 1am Nov first and I've worked on it on and off all day, I've got quite an interesting video capture of it.

I forgot what an amazing teacher the mirror can be and what an amazing voyage it is to explore the depth of the self.

Blessing and thanks to all. --

[loveandasandwich]

Mine sucks, but I got bored of drawing myself in real life really fast.
So I drew myself as a monster. Mechanical pencil, from imagination, haha

[Zinksy]

Forgive me I am new to this.

Anyways, it's been loads of fun doing this.

Painter/Photoshop

[chriskot]

Here's mine. Not nearly as good as most of the ones above, but I think that it would be a pretty good representation of me if there was a bit less distance between the eyes and nose. I was leaning against the bathroom door (I had to stand because the bathroom mirror is the only really good mirror in the house).

Reference: Bathroom mirror
Media: Mechanical pencil on scrap paper (hence the faint computer printout)
Time: 45 minutes (11:15pm - 12:00pm, I ran out of time!)


Awesome work everyone!

EDIT:
Also, here's another one I did really quickly and sloppily in the morning. Improperly formatted, I know (sorry), but it's actually just as good a representation of my appearance as the first one. Maybe better.

Reference: Webcam picture
Media: Photoshop CS3 (with mouse)
Time: ~10 minutes

[Joseph Connor]

WOW awesome Work!!!

[mark malone]

Almost missed it yet again...here's a speedy!!

[Ilaekae]

Finally...

Pure vector. 7 hours. Reference bad snapshot used for quick sketch, which was scanned. And yes...that's the Yippy Flag... :P

GAME OVER


What a great Nov. 1st.
Once again - we gathered more then 150 self portraits.
I hope next year i'll have the time to advertise this even better. I'd like to have more communities involved too.
It was amazing to see old faces and to see so manny new ones.
CA is so big now.
A HUGE thank you to all who took part in this - if you exprienced at least the same joy, frustration, descovery feeling and all that came with the SP experience as i did.. than you know how wonderfull it is.
Thank you so much. You are still my inspiration :yayca:
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

the thread remains open for comments for a while and then we'll let it sink until next year :)

[algenpfleger]

That was fun! Awesome work everyone :)

[Lotet]

oh crap, totaly missed the portrait day this year, ah well, il wait till nexxt year then, great work everyone though.

[Chate Noire]

digitalfly - I like the minimalism of lines. I don't know what you look like but it definitely seems like a real person in his essence. You could do without the red at the lower part of the image in my opinion, it only burns an otherwise solid piece.

Chuck,Mate - Love yours =) It's totally you in both likeness and style, and I just wish I could've seen it being painted, I'm sure it woulda been a treat.

D@niel - I really like the softness of the purple shades.

fedezz - Awesome =) It's so cool when people can create a totally stylized self portrait.

Ninja ASSN - The expression and exaggeration are really nice. The reds feel a little too burnt in my opinion.

entdroid - another lovely stylized portrait. Really sweet.

algenpfleger - Awesome expression! Caught very nicely.

Vorace - has a Van Gogh-y feeling to it...nice.

ManiakS - wow. You captured the eyes wonderfully, and the lighting and colors are really great. The face just pops out at ya.

Barts - that's lovely =) It has a playful, sweet quality.

rv el - Excellent :) Lots of personality in it.

Chromosome - I love the use of brushes, your colors and how you defined the form.

Android - As in previous years, your self portraits leave the viewer in awe. Your work is unique and really astounding.

[D@niel]

Maybe it should be SP week;)!

[Dave_]

SP year!

why did it have to be a saturday and not today, had to work about 12 hours yesterday, and since its heavy lifting, i was near to dead at the end of the day = no energy for SP. sucks

[roidvoid]

gah had to work a 17 hour shift couldnt get online to post into this thread!
:mittenbop:

[Tetrodotoxin]

Damn, I gotta learn how to paint digitally!!! All those Photoshop and Painter and whatever SP's are looking really jawdropping :jawdrop:

I'm so glad that I found out about this thing, had so much fun yesterday!!! Been running around with a big smile on my face all day long... :D

Thanks again to everyone, hope to see you again next year. Will be on a Sunday... hopefully I will have enough time...:tihi:

[JessiBean]

Oblio - THANK YOU, a deep, heartfelt one, for all that you do to organize this event and make it awesome. You are simply fantastic!
