DAY TWENTY EIGHT RESULTS:

Face Shape: A little pointy on the top. If I just made the sides shorter I would’ve made a perfect hexagon I think.

Eyes: Considering the size of the whole drawing, It’s funny that I drew the eyes as small as I did. The execution is poor - no detail under the eyes makes me look a little more oriental and awake than I do in person, and the lid of the right eye is completely botched.

Nose: Not the worst nose of drawn, not the best, but it’s possibly the most accurate aspect of this 5 Minute Me. There could be a little more detail on the bridge of the nose, but that’s the least of the problems with this illustration.

Mouth: Looks really rushed, as does the rest of the illustration, but it’s not that bad. I don’t generally try to draw in texture into the bottom lip, and I actually started to do that in this one, even though it just looks like scribbles. The size of the mouth could be a little bigger to look a bit more accurate.

Details: There’s not a lot of detail in this piece, and as we’ve seen with some of the rest of the 5 Minute Me’s, the nose gives the most once again in terms of finer execution.

Final Thoughts: It’s funny how much I’ve been over exaggerating some of my features. It’s a comment maybe on how I see myself, and is exactly what I was wanting out of the 5 Minute Me. I think my nose is small, so I draw it bigger. I think my eyes are bulgy and so I draw them smaller. I don’t know that this is something that would happen to someone after drawing a single self portrait, but having done this everyday for 4 weeks, I definitely feel it setting in pretty good and my vision going a little mental when I sit in front of that mirror.

DAY TWENTY EIGHT PIECE:
Where We Go. (written in 4mins 47secs)

Where we go we’ll meet glory for hand to hand shakes,
where (wo)man to (wo)man talks will turn to walks with greats,
and we’ll laugh to side sores about stocks and stakes -
how they don’t really matter.

We’ll dine fine style platters.

Where we go we’ll meet glory for an eye to eye glare,
fine sense of sight, we’ll foresee it to a stare.
We’ll laugh to side sores about the frauds and fakes,
and how all it took to get there was the thoughts we’d make.
