Draw a Self-Portrait

 In class, we are doing a project called "Draw a Self-Portrait." As you all know by me lecturing in class, a Self-Portrait is defined as being a portrait of yourself, drawn by you! As I talked about in class, we are going to do this by observing yourself in a mirror and then placing the features you see through the mirror down on the page. 

 The objective of this post, is for you to see some examples of Self-Portraits, and maybe get some ideas on how you want to express yourself through different mediums on your page.

Rembrandt is often called the master of brush work, and looking at this self portrait at full scale makes it immediately clear why.
