DAY SIXTEEN RESULTS:

Face Shape: A little short, but that comes with the perspective of the drawing.

Eyes: Proportionately too big, but I like how the reflection in the eyes looks. My right eye does tend to stay a little more open than my left. You’ll notice this when I’m chugging beers or brushing my teeth for some reason, so it is actually quite possible that it was a little more open while my left eye was squinting.

Nose: A little too big on the left side and not enough definition altogether. It doesn’t match my nose, but it does resemble it.

Mouth: Once again, I ran out of time. I think that it would have been a good representation of my mouth, but I just took too much time on the eyes and didn’t have enough left for the mouth.

Details: I felt like I needed to draw in the top line and my shoulder line to show that I was sitting in a car, peering at myself in the rear view mirror of the drivers side to get this illustration done. The actual physical facial details of the illustration aren’t that good, but the eyes and the depiction of me obviously in a foreign environment outside of the regular 5 Minute Me’s is pretty good.

Final Thoughts: As soon as I stared out the window to draw this one, I was shook. It’s weird how much I was used to drawing myself at a particular angle with a particular type of lighting. Once I had to step out of that, my whole order of drawing the 5 Minute Me had to switch up and it was difficult to capture the likeness of myself as quickly. Although it doesn’t necessarily resemble me, I think that this is one of my favorite 5 Minute Me’s thus far.

DAY SIXTEEN PIECE:
Global Equality. (written in 4mins 39secs)

New found.
I choke like telling bad jokes,
a noose sound.
Proud of land.
A man,
guess I’m still partially moose bound.
It’s glory.
A mime with a mind can only tell a half a story.
A man who talks is still inside a box.
This is liberty.
East and West exist inside a toppled state of symmetry.
It’s ugly face doping any chance for a fair race.
“One of these days
we’ll all be of color”,
said my brother.
“You better marry a nice white girl”,
said his mom.
Dear Lady Love,
My faith in you
is gone.

be.
