today i drew me...

 it was during joey's nap, and my only two mirrors in the house are in wake-him-up-if-you-walk-by-on-the-squeaky-hardwood-floor territory. so i grabbed a vintage handheld mirror that was decorating my desk, and drew what i could see! :) not so sure about the yellow oil pastels... i've never really worked with them before, and am not really sure how to move them successfully... so three self-portraits in 24 hours, and my nose still looks deformed, and it doesn't quite look like me (although, this is the most attractive one of the three, so you can think i look like this if you want ;) but i am so inspired to keep drawing and practicing! the self-portrait was only ONE of the assignments for the first day, so i'll definitely be continuing to work in drawing in the days & weeks to come! :)
however, mondays are for drawing. tuesdays are writing! so i'm about to start the lesson for today (i have been looking forward to this all day! :) and do a little creative writing, sipping vanilla rooibos tea at starbucks :)

can i make an observation... because of the fact that both of your eyes are looking into a small mirror as you draw this, your drawing makes you look a bit cross-eyed. i'm sorry i don't have a good recommendation on how to fix that. maybe just try to draw the pupils a millimeter or so farther apart. anyways, your drawings look great so far! i need to get MY creative juices flowing, cause i have a big design project i need to do in the coming weeks for micah 2.0 and i'm feeling a bit rusty.
