Self-portrait, part 1



Go ahead. Say it.

Say it.

I look young.

Because that's what everybody says. "Wow, I thought you were still in high school!" It's become a running joke in my life. I know, I know, I'll be thankful for this someday. Maybe when I'm forty, when people stop offering to hold my hand when I cross the street.



I was lucky enough to have my photos taken by Drozian Photoworks this winter. Lots of people say that hair is difficult to draw, especially curly hair. But I love drawing hair, especially curly hair! I like it because you can improvise - everything doesn't have to be exactly photographically accurate. I'm drawing my hair to be less frizzy than it is in the photo.
