Self Portrait 2023

I used my phone to do a selfie. The tools that we have available in the modern age can be a bit too easy to rely on. Even with the reference I was able to print out a black and white copy. I was able to trace the outlines onto a clean sheet of paper and have a reference to all the shading. With art, you learn to use the tools available. It is when you try and draw from life that is the real challenge! Even harder is when you try and draw from memory…… I can’t do that yet.
