Self Portrait

I have always enjoyed portrait drawing.  I was good at it as a child.  My most skilled drawings during elementary school were ones of my mom.  Those drawings were recognizable.  

I never got to pursue drawing.  

As I grew older, I became scared of drawing.  I was afraid of finding out that I have lost that skill.  

In the meantime, I went into personal growth.  I learned to appreciate aspects of myself outside of what people praise me for.  I started to draw again.

This is a drawing of me.  It is a picture of how I think I look at my most wonderful moments.  It captured the things that make me feel happy to look like me.  Those essences are hard to capture.  Because they are not the dimensions and topography of the structures of my face, but the love I grew for those oddities.  I worked hard to be able to perceive it and put that onto paper.  I am really proud of this drawing.
