A Self Portrait by digitalrn

A Self Portrait

During the past fifteen months, I have seen some awesome artistry on here, and I have a special interest and admiration for those who have the gift of drawinmg and painting. So tonight I had some spare time, so when I came home, I did some research on-line, and I came across this awesome, concentrated course on drawing. They guaranteed results. I sat for hours practicing, and finally finished my first piece, a self portrait. What do you think? Hey, with surrealism, anything is possible LOL. You can't blame a guy for dreaming can you? Disclamer: I hope you do not think I actually drew this. I wish.
i like this one a lot, rick.... very nice smiley protrait.... nice entry....

Some draw with paint; some with charcoal. Some draw with words; others with pencil. So why not draw with a camera and a great photoprocessing program? (o: I definitely like this one more than the 3 heads!! Fun shot Rick!

@marytj Mary, I truly appreciate everyone's kind words, but I see my project more as fun, an exploration of idea tht I learn form some of the most talented poeple I could imagine here on 365. Those are the ones that truly inspire me to have fun. You are kind with your words.
September 9th, 2011  
The themes really kick-start 365er's imaginations and you're doing a great job! You've inspired me to play around a little and try something like this, too...I love the idea! Well done!
September 9th, 2011  
Ha, nice one! Great photo, too :)
