This was a self portrait I did the second semester of my Freshman year. I've always had a much harder time drawing people despite being better at them than environments. Compared to the self-portraits I did at the beginning of the class (see first image), I feel like I really improved on my technique and drawing skills. While doing this project, I noticed that certain things that didn't quite click with me before (core shadow vs regular shadow and where to keep shading tight vs. loose for center of focus) just seemed to come much more naturally while I was doing this assignment. I really enjoyed working in the academic style. This is also where I could feel a positive change in my figure drawing as a whole, as after this self-portrait, I could do the portraits of others with no problem whereas in the past I had a very hard time doing so.
