Damn your face.

I cannot stand your face any longer. It hurts. I have another 20 days to stare straight at it, maybe even more.
Everything is off. Your nose is weird, your eyes are too far apart. Possibly even too close together.
You're an awkward specimen.

The colours in your profile just don't make sense. At least, that is how it appears when I capture a fleeting moment.
And even then, it is still odd. One day, you're yellow. The next, pink. And yesterday, you were a deep, earthy grey.
You have blemishes and scars.
Scars of your past. Physical scars, and mental scars.
I'm sorry for being so forward and brash, and slightly egotistical yet somewhat amused and materialistic.
But this is what media has done to the world, honey.

I have another 20 days to stare, straight at it. Straight into it. Maybe even more.
I want to just break a mirror every time I see it.

To: My face.

NINE NINE NINE.

Time Spent: 2 hours.

Finished product!


It looks better on camera than in real life.
Damn it, face.

Why do they call it a 'mug' shot? A mug is like, a cup.
We don't have cup faces.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Reference pic:

Time Spent: 2-3 hours.

I'm so professional B]

Why should I go to bed?! Mugshot 5!

Jesus. Mugshot five D:

There are lots of pictures to be included in here, but I shall just for now, stick with the reference-picture deal :B

This took me about 3 hours to do. I just finished right now, like literally 15 minutes ago! :D

Here is the reference:

Head is more tilty. Again. Burrrgh.


My fifth and final mugshot of this week :D
PFFFFFF

Mugshot 4. Oh, the INSANITY.

So!
Guesssss whaaat. I got smart, and hopefully this isn't cheating.
Mike, if you read this and it's cheating. Well... oops D:

Instead of just drawing from scratch and slapping paint on the canvas, I decided to pencil in my face first, and then paint over.
VîOLA!
Genius? Yes? Done before? Of course!
I'm just glad I did it :V

Well, this one turned out more...human... than the first three.
Something's off with the eyes, though. <___<


Here's the ol' reference pic.

Head's tilted more.
These are always off D:


FINISHED PIECE I AM SO TIRED I CANNOT TYPE CORRECT
tons of deletions YUM

EDIT: my nose is a jew nose.

Mugshot 3! Oh, Jesus. I've missed a few days D:

Oh, well.
Now is better than never, right?


That's the picture of 'reference'. I don't paint FROM these pictures. This is just what I LOOK like when I...paint.. them... yeah, okay.




Finished work.

They're progressively getting better each time.
At least, I like to think so D:

Mugshot 2. Complete with painting setup!

I was more pleased with this one. Yet fairly sad, because I WANT IT TO BE PHOTO QUALITY, DAMNIT!
Relax, Nicole. You're an Animator, not a painter. D:
Okay.


Those are DEFINITELY cheez-its. My painting snack of choice. Hell, it is THE snacking choice.
Although, turpenoid and snacks don't go well together.
Ah, well.



My set up, some more.



Just various pictures of how I start and end my painting session.



It was a lot of fun.



Okay.
So, here is basically what I looked like when I did my painting.



And here is the end result.




Jesus, I look at it now, and I die a little inside.

Time Spent:
Roughly 3 hours, give or take.

These are all oil on gesso'd cardboard.
Suck it.

A series of painting: Mugshot 1.

Ohhh, my first painting class. I am super enthralled to be in it this term, taught by the famous yet infamous Michael Nolan.
What a dork.

These are all oil on cardboard, primed with gesso by me.
The first couple will be monochromatic.
Wooooooo!



That picture is the reference I used.

Here is the actual painting.
OH THE HORROR!




I am so ashamed.
