Stephen Deffet: Self Portrait from Mirror
This is my self portrait i drew using a mirror to study my face and features. I am only about 3 to 3.5 hours into this drawing but i do plan on finishing it since i was planning to do a realistic self portrait on my own anyway. I only used a Bic .07 mechanical pencil on this drawing.
Stephen Deffet: Self Portrait from Picture
This was done with A fine point sharpie marker. The reference I used was a picture taken of me the night before ( I was not aware a picture was being taken of me at the time.). I plan on giving the drawing 3 values, black, one mid tone and white. When i am done blocking in value i am going to watercolor all the white.
