1st NOVEMBER.International Self Portrait Day! Over 200 portriats in one day!

[Oblio]

What if… by a funny chance you become your own inspiration? What if the most beautiful entity in the universe is… you? The one you think you are, the one you want to be, the one the mirror shows... the one.

The whole universe is reflecting in your eye – look back into it!

Last year a lot of people put 'chow #23' in their frames, and you said that you'd change it to next time...

[mrgrumble]

hey guys

45 min oil sketch, bad photo, light Photoshop poop


30 min oil sketch, bad photo: i think around 3.5x6in?


more to come later i hope!
looking snazzy so far everyone

[AlexC]

great work mrgrumble, what did you paint the oil sketch on?

[mrgrumble]

thanks alex!
top one was on store bought canvas panel 8x10
second one, unprimed illustration board scrap - great for sucking the life out of the paints, and making it nice and matte - but good for just mucking about

[Stark]

First one of many.
Medium: PS CS2 + Wacom Intuos3 6x8
Ref: Mirror

Same as above for the second SP...more to come?

[Stark]

Alex, Upload your new SP to the same post please. It's so that everyone can post without having to see the same person 20 times as they upload new SPs. Your last one looks really good. I'll have emulate you and do a more finished one now. :p

[Farvus]

Great job. Guys.

This one is number 362. Only 3 left to get full year .

Edit: In the morning next day I looked at it again and it feels exaggerated. That's what comes out when I want to paint spontaneously .
