June 9, 2006 Wally Torta has issued the challenge: a series of self portraits, each to build upon the last one. This sounded like an interesting challenge. So I propped up several thick books against the computer monitor so I could put a mirror there and sit while I sketch. This way I get more details then a quick sketch while standing. I didn't know my left eyebrow is higher than my right eyebrow. There are nine of these self portraits all together. I like this one and the one from June 14th the best. (Note of January 16, 2010): There are now fifteen of those self portraits. I've placed a more recent one here, as well.
