DAY TWENTY SIX RESULTS:

Face Shape: From what I drew in, it looks pretty accurate.

Eyes: The eyes are pretty good. The left eye is the closest to my likeness that I’ve drawn my eyes in a while. The right eye, for the first time, is the feature that I started on in this illustration. I think that this 5 Minute Me is the first one possibly since Day 17 that looks like a person and not a caricature.

Nose: It’s not that accurate, but it is pretty well done. The detailing is nice, though not totally alike to my nose in real life.

Mouth: I’m starting to set a trend here I think - run out of time before getting to the mouth.

Details: The detail on the nose is the best feature on this 5 Minute Me, although it’s not totally accurate. There’s not much else going on for the rest of the face other than the eye quality and the shading on the ear.

Final Thoughts: Finally, a 5 Minute Me that looks somewhat like me. I was getting pretty down about these fucking things and this one has given me a little bit of a boost of confidence. One thing I never seem to comment on in my ‘Final Thoughts’ is the writing portion of the 5 Minute Me. It almost has become secondary to what everyone seems to see, and that’s the self portraits. Today’s writing piece was actually one of my favorites. I hope you like it.

DAY TWENTY SIX PIECE:
A Round Of Applause For Things That Have Passed. (written in 5mins 00secs)

I’m gone
like tomorrow will be a day of reflection,
a moment to be
missed,
for the cold and misted walks through paths
and talks with preachers about the life after passing.
I’ve got passion like the man you find yourself for forgiveness asking,
and I’ve taken lashings,
learned lessons and been double crossed.
I’ve tried,
but am tired of exhausting thoughts,
meddling aimlessly,
and peddling venom and gems to a
‘plain as you can see’ audience whose
ignorance is audible.

And through all the bull
we’ll find yesterday as the time most applaudable.
