Self Portrait

Wow great stuff, nice detail!

What a lovely portrait, with too many details. Great work.

college 10 years ago? ouch…i dont feel so old now, thanks :)

This is totally knock my socks off awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best self portrait i have ever seen

I agree with all the comments here! It is one of the best self portraits I’ve seen too, I bet you did go through a lot of pencils and how were your hands? A bit sore? ;)
Really this is so cool, thanks for sharing it with all of us!

What a different take on a self portrait! Awesome!

nicely done! love the movie selection…..says lots about you. great attention to detail here, and i find it amusing you’re giving yourself the finger. i guess now we know you’re a righty :)

AWESOME detail! Great art! Ten years out of college hell son your just a baby! lol

This self-portrait is interesting even for people who know nothing else of you.

Excellent self portrait.

why do you fly the bird in your description?

brilliant…you do everything so well….
the talent must have always been there!

far out!! Gee that’s impressive. Ok, am really feeling crappy with pencils now lol

it’s totally how i’d picture you back then.. maybe now when you are chillin…....... good stuff…......b

Speaking of shadows and reflections…..this is amazing! Deep, real and very personal. thank you for sharing.

Great stuff, am hoping Rear Window isn’t apart from the others because it’s in the discard pile?

Hahaha cheeky cheeky!
Amazing work as usual!

stunning steven super use of the Pencil

I love this to bits – it’s great and I don’t care if it is narcissistic. This is very skillfully done – the comedic elements give it a bit of extra oomph!!!! :-))

Stunning! What a talent.

Great work Steve – very cool!

This tickled my funny bone…I like a man that can ‘poke’ a bit of fun at himself. Unique take on the old self portrait angle.

Great sketch, the whole piece, I’m a big fan of good reflections and this one is a perfect example.

Great work for an early piece.. I like the style that you used for your face.. oh and great collection of films you got there!

Balance = ) Gotta love that! Something I know little about lol

oh I love this!

I love the reflection and the toes and the expression. :)

I actually do a toe series and love the way you did this ART and all!!

wow, amazing. lots of detail and meaning (i’m guessing). great work!!

oh I beg to differ, you were telling us that BACK in college you liked to watch movies and tell people to….

well you liked to watch movies. HA HA HA

:)

lol, you can’t win in this area! if you say you don’t think there’s meaning, you’re insulting. if you think there is, you’re probably seeing stuff and then you sound stupid. :)

Wow! There’s a lot to drink in here! Yes, you were an angry young man, but at who? I thought it was a prerequisite to be angry as a college freshmen, even a HS freshmen!(yes I can still think back that far!) Really, this is a great piece to pass on to your children and their children, etc. (after they’ve grown) Sometimes it’s nice to look at simplistic drawings and sometimes it’s nice to look at detailed drawings, and oh BTW you are a baby. Thanks for sharing this relic with us, it’s great really.

very good drawing….i like your work….

I love your taste in reading! And the bizarre little creatures on your desk! And the one naked foot for an SP. You definitely are true artistic stock and this old pencil drawing just proves it. How many pencils did you use? I won’t tell. How super creative and entertaining. Smiles from Jane:-)

wow.. excellent.

Ohhhhhhhhh….. the psychoanalyst in me is salviating. What wonderful mind fodder!

Great stuff!

this is one of the best drawings i’ve seen! nice one!

Amazing self-portrait lots of datails looking back what your mind set was at the time-very awesome interesting drawing….

absolutely fantastic – love the composition with the mirror and everything very cool!

superb

ummmm, self portrait….which one is you? I think it is the little guy….LOL. I have been pencil girl all my life, I just changed over to painting about 10 yrs ago. I still love pencil and ink the best. This is great! So much detail…one of the best here on RB!!

weren’t we all ;)

Incredible detail in this drawing! Well done, I love it! Isn’t it amazing how all university and/or college students have the same kind of room, with the same kind of stuff – no matter in which part of the world you are? BTW, I like the hand gesture, it is the pith of the image for me!!!! ((;~D))

LOL!! Well you’re not that old if you still remember college!
Really cool piece!

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very well drawn SP, and interesting that you did it in a mirror too showing two different perspectives of your leg and two different dimensions; the real world and the mirror world. I had fun reading through the comments; oh your poor roommate :P. If it were me I would have done it in the school; we have computerized keys so we can access it 24/7; we need it anyhow. Well AS IF I can find the time to do such a detailed picture! I’m busy as hell during a school semestre working until 6am, and when deadline comes it can become all nighters; “good night” becomes “good morning”...

Ahh yes, I remember the good night becoming the good morning, especially since it still happens to this very day! It’s my wife that gets annoyed by the hours these days though. ;)

This is truly brilliant; so detailed that I’m unsure whether to study the books, or look closer at the photo stuck in the mirror? Was the mug just emptied….and what is with the ghoul toy thingies?

Wow….I can’t take this much brilliance…hehe

awesome work :)

Excellent work :)

I started wondering; how come you’re not holding a pencil in that reflection? That means you drew one of your hands free-hand; and I’m assuming it’s your right hand (unless your left-handed).

I know; it’s been awhile since I came back to this. I doing some sketches for school now – which don’t look so pretty right now (although I don’t need to make them artistic), and I went looking for inspiration; and remembered this; all that detail and the perspective…

Great drawing – great portfolio!

Awesome!!!

thanks for posting it. it is beautiful!

LOL, I love this!!! So much to look at here. You are so talented!!!

i could say how much i like this..but based on all the comments i doubt i would get noticed…...lol…which just shouts how awesome this is :0)
