RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 57: Draw you or someone else [60 hive in prizes]

Pretty good! I like the way you captured such a natural looking hair colour. Masterful brush strokes, you even captured wrinkles? Magnificent artistry. Was this picture done for a y particular reason, or was it just for fun?

Sort:  

Thank You! I like natural hair, never dyed my hair which is not that blonde, but still a light brown hair 😁 I sometimes paint or draw for fun; it relaxes me. So, I had no particular reason except I thought it was not easy to make portraits and wanted to give it a try with myself first and also to check on how I would portray myself / see myself.

I've never drawn myself either, mainly because I don't look that good in real life and a drawing of me would be even worse, and partly because I simply can't draw...Clearly evidenced by my drawing in this post.

I'm sure you are saying it in the opposite. Why on Earth will you not look great in drawing and I'm real life? That, I can't believe

In real life I have a terrible visage, I'm a hideous beast really.

All the kids in the neighborhood run away when they see me coming, or pelt me with stones.

Here's me practicing my smile in the hope I don't scare the kids away...

The beauty is subjective...in the eye of the beholder how some would say. Even so, I think the fact that we are different and unique needs to be celebrated in one way or another. By the way, I like your drawing. It is funny.

Thanks for liking my drawing...I worked so hard on it. 😁

And yes, it's the beholder that determines beauty. Well said.

You have done so well. Starting by drawing yourself first is rhe beat and drawing for fun is what most of us always do.

I am glad you liked it. I guess it made me think of the ''Draw
-a-Person'' test, a psychological test that tells you some aspects about yourself by interpreting the drawing. But fun is also great.
