Self-Portrait: Sketch #1


This is my self-portrait for the Illustration Senior Show.  Instead of adding in things that I love (such as something related to Harry Potter, the Boston Red Sox, or the Boston Bruins), I chose to keep it simple and only add the Gerbera daisy in my hair.  I'm still deciding on how it'll look when it's finished, but I definitely have some things I want to try.    Pencil on bond paper, 8.5" x 11".
