Self-Portrait

Hi there! This is my first digital cartooned self portrait. I didn't use any references and I made myself look better than I actually look. Ha. It's been a long time since I've posted something. I've been going through a lot in my life and this drawing shows pretty much how I've been feeling lately. This shows me dwelling in the past but you'll see me in my next self portrait as a new person. It will be a little more creative, bold and brighter. I learned a lot this past year and I am happier now than I was back then. Since today is my birthday, I look at it as a new year/chapter in my life. My mom was a huge inspiration for me this past year and she has helped me see life in a new way. There will be a lot of drawings dedicated to her coming up. I really miss this, drawing and all. This time, it will reflect a lot of my emotions. I look forward to this new year!

Also, the program that I'm trying out is Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro. So far, I like the simplicity of it. It does lack in options with brushes and there are no crazy effects or adjustments I can make on color but that's the point. It's mainly for sketching but this sort of forces me to try harder with colors. Haha.

Please check-in or follow me so you'd get an update on my posts. Critiques are welcomed.

Thanks.

Enjoy!
