The big thing to do in art school is your own self portrait. The advantages are many-fold: you don't have to pay a fee for a model, you are always available, and you don't talk back or get personally offended when you don't turn out on paper looking like yourself. We've done three more self portraits, in two of our classes. I think one of the portraits comes closest to looking like me. I also have a great rendition of a Harry Potter look-alike, and a portrait that looks very much like a fellow that used to work in the kitchen at Delish! Can you guess which is which?
