Me, Age 20
This is a self-portrait. I decided to do an annual portrait of myself (starting at age 18), to see both my change in appearance and progress in skill. This is me at age 20. Click here to see last year's drawing: Me, Age 19, and here to see the previous year's: Me, Age 18

Artist Comments:
I'm very pleased with this drawing. I think you can really tell I am getting better every year. I drew this really small because I was kind of in a hurry to get it finished. I actually did this drawing after I had already turned 21, but close enough! By the way, I had to photoshop this drawing because I had to take a photo of it because I was without a scanner, and the lighting in the room was not good at all. But I only fixed the contrast and things like that! (Changed the levels, and made the background white, and the black on my shirt blacker.)
