Self Portraits and Other Stuff

Thanks for your post "Anonymous Bridgette" LOL! I am so happy when I get posts! I certainly don't know how much "elderly wisdom" I have-but I suppose it's more than when I was 20 or 30! For anyone out there who may be reading my blog.....i hope you will feel comfortable about giving your perspective no matter how old (or young) you are. Anyway, as for me, I'm just posting my own thoughts which consist mainly (at this point) of school, kids and art. 

Speaking of art, does anyone have any hints, tips or techniques about doing self portraits? I am now working on a 2ft.x2ft. self portrait. Wow, it's hard. We have had to do 3 self portraits already (2 are 'symbolic') It's actually been kind of fun, one person in my drawing class said, "I should be pretty good at this, I've seen this face more than any other face, every single day when I look in the mirror!" Funny, it's so true, but I never thought of that!! SO if you have any suggestions or books to recommend on the subject-Please do. 

Remember, I am going to be putting up pictures of ALL my course work from this semester, here on my blog,  very soon. If anyone has any pix they'd like to share, please e-mail me :)

And now I'm gonna plug my website again...just got it updated again yesterday! Still working on a few things, but it's looking better than ever- so please check it out...and make sure you click on the advertisements too, it helps keep my site running.  Thank you and have a happy day :) I'm off to draw a gigantic me.
