Self Portrait, conte crayon in kraft paper sketchbook, 12/14/2008
I was digging around through some art supplies left to me by a relative. There were some dip pens, some pencils and a little box of black conte crayons–they must be over twenty years old but they don’t go bad or anything. I never did anything with them before so it was kind of fun to try them out. They are not as messy as pastels and that is a huge plus for me. By the way, this is not what I really look like, but I wasn’t really focusing on getting my likeness.

On the other hand, I do actually look like this–I drew it from a photo as it would have been too difficult to do my profile in the mirror. I honestly hate my profile and I don’t know why I’m even posting this, or why I bothered to draw it in the first place!
