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

This is the first and only portrait I have done 4 years ago after a photo of myself. My eyes are kind of green only in a certain light, or, at least someone dear to me says that. Otherwise, they are brown. Anyway, the wrinkles are there 😂

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?

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.

Oh no!! What happened to her left eye? She has a black eye.

lol. I didn't say it was perfect 😂 Even one of the eyes is smaller than the other one...but I kind of think this is a more reliable fact 😅

🤣 I have seen a lot funny pictures today. Yours is funny too but it was amazing seeing it though.

Oh my gosh!!! What are those in his mouth? Worms?

Hahaha...It's all food. I think it's asparagus 😉

Oh!! They look like some kind of greenish worms.

So funny, Lol

reminds me. I have some asparagus to cook today.

Are these ones teeth or mouth..? Hehehe...

This is a very raw and minimalistic approach that I've seen around the artworld and I like it. Maybe I'll give that a go next.

I am glad you like it and if you'll give it a shot, good luck with your drawings 🙂

I will, eventually, currently I'm on a little different artistic journey, but I usually go back to portraits.

hello this is great, how we see ourselves haha

Yes, drawing is a good way of finding things about ourselves 😁

It's a great start to make portraits, I love the details of the wrinkles because it conveys self-confidence, they will always be a sign of experiences, it's a portrait that conveys your being. Good one!

Great feedback! Thank You.

I think you look great and hardly even noticed the wrinkles but the no neck is unmistakable.

Thank You! Great sense of observation!

I felt the need to answer you because it was a topic already started and I find it respectful, but I will no longer engage too much in Hive. I realised simply commenting on posts is just another manipulative way for others like @spaminator to downvote you.

Best to you all!

Sorry you feel that way. I've never experienced what you're talking about. I rarely see comments receive downvotes unless they're phishing attempts or mass sent.

Good luck to you.

Still, it looks awesome and not all people can draw. Good luck.

With time you will be perfect. This colourful drawing is truly great and awesome.
