Self Portrait #12

This was another, very tiny, sketch from my sketch book. I do not recall the inspiration in the slightest, but judging from the size, about as big as a nickel, I was going for some sort of iconography. I don't know that it succeeds in doing so, but I do like the idea. Using only straight lines to define the region of the hair is a play on cross hatching, a technique I always liked.

If I was a Little Tikes person, this is how I would look.

Self Portrait #10

I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. I think at the time I was trying to recreate the feel of the Nickelodeon cartoon "Doug". Now I'm aware that it doesn't really look like a character that would be pulled from the cels of that show, but I was mostly going off the feeling of the character designs from memory. It was way to an abstract idea too be good.

Self Portrait #9

This is a very tiny one, so please excuse how blurry it is. I cannot recall what was the inspiration behind the style of this, but I like it none the less. Now that I'm typing this and thinking about it, I believe I was emulating a cartoon style that just happened to be on the time... Which one, I will never remember.
