I'm behind on my blog, and it is partially because of the self portrait assignment. I had never attempted a self portrait before, and I hated the idea of it. I had a grand idea combining many techniques and several styles. I probably worked 10 to 12 hours on my first design, and I liked various aspects of it, but in the I just was not happy with it. I started anew, and in about 2 1/2 hours, I had a finished design I didn't mind showing others. This goes to show that sometimes the simpler designs just work better.
