self-caricature (again)

i tried another version of a self-caricature based on this photo, taken by jrmyst.

IMG_3042.CR2.03.bw IMG_3042.CR2.paint

i like the pencil version better than the color one---something seems kind of unnatural around the mouth/lip area for some reason---maybe it is overly-pronounced? anyway, i feel like it resembles me less than the pencil version. in the pencil one, i scanned in the original drawing and made a few tweaks/adjustments in photoshop, including adding eye/hair color and playing with proportions/angles a bit.

cross-posted on my blog.

I like your drawings! You did a great job. I especially like your eyes on the pencil drawing. They are totally yours. How did you add color to the second one by hand or on the computer?

thanks sukogirl! i added color on the computer, but i was using a mouse, which was difficult. since then, i got a wacom tablet, and have found it to be soooo much easier. also, i started to take a figure drawing class and am enjoying that too. i'll try to post soon...
