For the self-portrait illustration I only want to approach
it with a very simple composition and so I went with the side of my head/face.
I had not used any photo references of myself so there may be some facial
features that might look a little exaggerated. I had not done a self-portrait
with digital painting before so I was having some slight difficulties, such as
painting the skin and getting some of the proportions right. I did not want to
create a realistic digital painting of myself and just went with what my
digital painting skills takes me in terms of style and painting. I had went
through the process of painting with low expectations due to the lack of experience
in painting faces/portraits on Photoshop. The result came out a bit better than
I had expected and as I had said before, the face feels a bit stylised (due to
my art style) but that is something I do not want to change since the style, over my experience in digital painting, is
now my visual language as an digital artist.
Step by step progress of my self-portrait.
