First Images – Vanity 8

To kick start, I share with you series of self-portrait sketch exercises using different medium per sketch, for total of eight.  (Not to be self-centered here, but I can’t afford to pay models and besides the hardest part of an artist’s work is drawing one’s self.)  Seeing that it’s been three years since I really drew anything I feel I’ve gotten pretty rusty, and I wanted to reacquaint myself with the old school tools of the trade.

I hope you visit often.  Every post will have new piece of work and the creative madness behind it, as well as hints of the type of person I am, as what you read in the ABOUT page doesn’t nearly do justice (and it’d take forever to write every nook and cranny of my boring life).
