The Legends League

DAY TWENTY NINE RESULTS:

Face Shape: Pretty good, although something about it seems juvenile. Maybe it’s the overall size of the illustration. It’s a little small I think.

Eyes: Not the best execution, but definitely alike to mine in the flesh. The little dent between my eyebrows is pretty characteristic of my ‘unimpressed’ look, and even though not all the details of the eyes were drawn out, the little things like that are keeping me from bashing the execution too much.

Nose: This is a pretty damn accurate depiction of my nose. the shape is good and the size in relation to my face is on point.

Mouth: As with the eyes, the execution isn’t the greatest, but the likeness is bang on in the context of the whole illustration. I’m finding it hard to sway away from this formula of drawing the mouth - shade the upper lip, define the lower, darken the outsides of the mouth, draw in mustache and labret piercing. It’s great for time, but not the greatest for execution.

Details: There’s not too much deep, fine detail in this 5 Minute Me, but overall the illustration works as a self portrait. The nose takes the cake for best in show as far as the details department goes.

Final Thoughts: After yesterdays embarrassing “hexagon face” 5 Minute Me, it’s nice to have been able to draw out something that actually resembles me more than it does guys I disliked as a teenager. My favorite part about today’s 5 Minute Me was writing something for Stace - simple, not wordy, to the fucking point, and honest. Just the way I like it. Sometimes.
