Nostalgia


Okay, it's been a few years! I found this picture among my older drawings. I made this pen and ink drawing of myself when I was just 19. I looked in the mirror for about 2 hours to create it (A very self-absorbed exercise). I think I was generous with all the features I hated most about myself. I think my lips are too thin so my drawing gave me a little more than I own. I think my eyes are too close together so I separated them more than they actually are. Any way you look at it, I'm not that cute anymore.

The style is called stippling where there are only dots, no lines, forming the gradation and shadows. It was fun making all the dots.
