A 5 Minute Me. – day 8.
by be.
DAY EIGHT RESULTS:
Face Shape: Accurate. The left jaw (right) is a little bit low, but overall the shape is on point.
Eyes: The left eye (right) is more accurate than the right eye (left). The right eye (left) is also a little big and the execution of the drawing of the eyes isn’t that great.
Nose: This nose is very accurate. I feel that the angle that I drew this self portrait added to my ability to show the proper sizing and depth of the nose.
Mouth: I tried to use the shadows and my mustache as a means to show the mouth in this illustration. I feel like the shape and size are very accurate and while it’s become a trend for me to claim every new 5 Minute Me as my favorite, I really think that this mouth is one of the best I’ve drawn thus far.
Details: I took more time earlier into the drawing to make use of the shading as a means to liven up the drawing. I think this helps the life of the drawing to a great extent.
Final Thoughts: I had a terrible dream last night and was writing about it just before I did today’s 5 Minute Me. This might explain the look on my face. I also thought it might be interesting to change my facial position to give the project a spontaneous alt look. I was terrified while drawing this.
DAY EIGHT PIECE:
Dreaming “Darked” (written in 2mins 49 secs)
I
HAD
THE
SCARIEST
DREAM
TODAY.
I
WOKE UP
AND
TOLD
STACEY.
I’M
AFRAID
IT
WILL BE
TRUE.
THE
MOST
AFRAID
I
HAVE
EVER
BEEN.
When we ask what we’ve done to deserve this,
we need to ask what we have done to deserve anything better.

hey man.
that last line is the truth, and.. in my situation right now, really speaks.
i’ve wondered if its incorrect to think of ‘deserving’ or ‘blame’ as if it was written in the stars for someone to be responsible, for me to be repaid what was coming.
i’ve wondered if the adage ‘everything happens for a reason’ is really false.
or maybe not, i’m fresh off something harsh that, sadly, wasn’t a dream. but never once did i think i was supposed to deserve better; i have more feelings of regret over pre-empting my mistakes.
stay up. keep your mind right, and perhaps you’ll live to do what you will do.
for now, i’m glad you’re doing what you’re doing right now with LL. not like, the craziest thing in the world, but its personal and sincere and I see it because I respect that.
heh, word up.
