Nice drawings Marie

thanks dude!

I dug up some portraits. The first two are replicas of paintings/photos which is easier but less interesting:
A drawing of a self portrait by Monet

Spoiler for Monet:

And a drawing of a photo of John Lennon (I never figured out how to draw hair)

Spoiler for Lennon:

The rest are all self portraits, which was what I mostly did. Drawing your own face is weird and difficult and confronting, but fascinating. I think they're chronological in order.
My best friend called this one the Serial Killer Portrait:

Spoiler for BEWARE:

I made a point of indicating all my birthmarks lol. The reason for the intense stare is just the state of concentration. Another one, in pen this time, which is why it's relatively dark:

Spoiler for self 2:

One where I tried a different facial expression for a change:

Spoiler for self 3:

and my personal favourite, a quick sketch which is somehow more charming to me than the 'serious' efforts:

Spoiler for self 4:

Pooping bitch face.

Marie, you are way too modest - I really think your work is incredible. The Monet self portrait and the Lennon (!) are amazing, and I love your self portraits (agree that your quick sketch is very charming). You definitely have talent and then some. Hope you'll continue with your art - I'm very impressed!

thanks, we'll see if I can find the motivation

It's the face of someone in the process of producing something ****ty, so seems about right.

NFT's on an "Art Thread" - beautiful. Cryptocurrency and its structure and use cases are awesome.

I finally gave in to the most cliché corona activity and started embroidering my own patches. I'm still very clumsy at it, but it's a lot of fun and my jacket is now decorated with my favourite piece of medieval art:
