Hi Maia- I am so glad you are an artist. I hope it continues in your life. You have difficulties. I can relate. I am glad I have found this self-portrait of you. Faces help me to conceive of another online, of course. I see nothing 'messed up' in this drawing but I do see a strong creative spirit in it and a command to the tools used. I am going to submit an image of many self-portraits (for you) I have made over the years. No two of them are the same!?
@David50Wilson Thank you so much, this genuinely means a lot to me! Self-portraits can definitely say a lot about someone, especially online when you usually don't actually see or know them...I think that's one of my favorite ways to be introduced to someone. I tend to be pretty critical of my art/work, though I'm trying to work on it. It's easy for me to look at my own art and see all the mistakes; I have a hard time stepping back and being completely happy with a piece.
Over a year ago, I finished my Robin Williams portrait, and I decided I wanted to create a series of different black and white portraits. So far, this is the happiest I've been with a piece in a while. There's no expectation, there's no real pressure on this, it's me falling in love with painting again. I've only been working on this for a week, so there isn't a ton of progress. I suppose I'll reveal who the person is later once more progress is made but for now, enjoy.

Chicago deep-dish is just out of this world...I had to say that. I'm not sure when or where the space idea came in, but I'm pretty okay with the result. Enjoy the mid-class doodle that's helped me stay focused during this week.

My attempt at fancy lettering. Despite the fact that 'k' isn't in any part of my name, it is one of the more interesting letters, in my opinion. Just a simple and quick piece...

Nice detail with the cracked lenses.
