Tonight I had an interest in exploring the heavy outline that I love adding to my self-portraits. I decided to create an even bolder appearance than usual with a super thick line that could actually be read as a frame of some sort. I like the effect, and might enjoy adding some color to another one down the line a ways.
Incidentally, once the drawing began to take shape, this cropped head reminded me of someone wearing a hoodie sweatshirt with the drawstrings pulled tight!!

Hey, I think I saw someone wearing a hoodie sweatshirt with the drawstring pulled tight yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the heavy simple outline and the finer detail of the facial features inside.
