messy underpainting in burnt sienna, burnt umber, and utrecht vivid turquoise. i'm shirtless so you can see my top surgery scars, and looking off to the side. my glasses are on my forehead keeping my hair out of my eyes. the eyes are kinda lopsided.
prev painting but with pink midtones added. the colors are captured more accurately here, so you can tell the blues were really oversaturated and the oranges were really undersaturated in the last photo
more progress-- more highlights, more pinks. a background has been blocked in (pastel blues and pinks)
more progress -- shadows have started to get blocked in, more details are starting to be defined, and the eyes are finally less lopsided
some progress shots of a self portrait im working on for class :•)
