Self Portrait in Graphite

[lizzomatic]

This is definitely an experiment in style for me! I recently discovered Tamara de Lempicka’s work and really like her clean shapes and graphic style. I’ve been doing a few self-portraits that represent aspects of my personality I’d like to let go of, so perhaps this is not the best introduction avatar, but I like it as a drawing.

I love your self-portrait! It seems very personal while also reflecting the graphic style of Tamara de Lempicka. I wasn’t familiar with her work, so I looked her up. She’s fascinating! I get very distracted with detail, and I think your drawing is a great example of the power of simplicity in presenting an idea. Your shading is beautiful by the way!
