Self Portraits (Spring Semester)

As promised, here are the self-portraits I've done in class so far this semester. Right now, I'm taking a break from myself, doing a more surreal painting that's more in tune with my drawings and sketches (and is in fact based on a sketch I have)... I'll post the original doodle along with the final painting this week. I just want to touch it up some before I call it finished. It wasn't easy, and took at least double the time of the paintings you'll see below, but by the end of the second class period, I had reached a turning point. More details when I actually post it, I just wanted to mention how I'm finally exiting my comfort zone in terms of my paintings. Enjoy!
