One of the first of the many assignments I'll be posting from my art classes. I must say, it was quite fun to do, and I think I have a rather dark look, so I added the halo to try to balance it out.
I used my room mate's digital camera to take a picture of it, so the quality isn't the best and it's a little lighter than the original, but at least you can see what I'm up to.
Charcoal and eraser on paper.
(Edit: Adjusted contrast and brightness on image to better match original)
daymn, that's a pretty sweet earth, you might say.
But seriously, dude, this kicks ass. I suck balls at realism, and I swear to Pond if you get amazingly good at human anatomy/realistic humans I might cut off my right hand.

Nice! I the beard is a nice touch to this self portrait.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
