(it's supposed to be) a self portrait.

i hate self portraits.... and illustrations. so, why in the world did i decide to combine the two to make this? i don't know. anyway, this is supposed to be me. trust me, i am well aware that it looks nothing like me. i tried, but i can never portray myself right. even when i take a picture of myself it doesn't look like me. oh well. i like this, i guess. i feel like it could use a lot more work, and something to take up the giants white space in the corner, suggestions?

p.s. i don't know how i am going to survive ap studio. i definitely am not a good enough artist to be in it. what was i thinking when i decided to sign up. i must be crazy.

edit: i have come to like this piece more...looking at things i have created over time and then looking at this i cans see how much my work has improved, and that has made me excited for what other things i can make. hopefully this class can teach me a thing or two, not necessarily about art, but about myself. i am way to hard on myself. i realize that what i make may not be perfect, there's room for improvement on everything. i'm going to try to look at things from a different perspective. i want to look at my work as if i were an outsider. if i saw that hanging on a wall, what would i think? and i think if i saw this... i would think it was beautiful, honestly.
