Self Portrait

Well, here I am.... older and apparently Native American! I'll have to fix the shadow to the left of the nose to make myself look my age, but other than that, I'm so happy with how this turned out. The last self portrait i did was a year ago and in pencil. Oh, and it was handdrawn. The beautiful thing about painting is that it can be traced with a projector ^^.

This is not meant to be completely realistic. The assignment was to incorporate the style of an artist of our choice into our self portrait. I chose Van Gogh. It doesn't really resemble Van Gogh THAT much, but i incorporated a thick, textured style into he shirt and the background.
