Artist Bettering Critiques & Collaborations (ABC&C) Is a group of artists who are dedicated to making a support system for artists. A place for individuals to communicate about works, to share ideas, and support each other through the internet. We are interested not only in talking about "art" but also ideas, whether it object, sound or from the mind we want to talk about it!

Self Portrait: September 25, 2011

I'm trying to work on my proportions. Also working on using the bingo dabber without it being entirely obvious what it is.

Self Portrait: September 14, 2011

This is a bottle of india ink and if you had seen most of paintings from my junior year of college (if they still existed) you would understand.
Self Portrait: September 11, 2011

Tried to use more of the sharpie this time. The heavy black outline has a nice comic book feel to it. I've been a little too focused on school work to really focus on these recently.
Self Portrait: September 10, 2011

Tried to paint in watercolour and got bored. Thankfully sharpies were still interesting at the time. Although I do like how the shirt came out.
Self Portrait: September 8, 2011



Had a painting and moive night with Maggie. For one I just tried to get a realistic painting of myself. I didn't fill in the one eye because my mirror and paints were there. For the second one I used a bingo dabber and watered down acrylic. I like dabbing.

Self Portrait: September 6, 2011

Was part of the drawing marathon for painting. One of the things I used was india ink and I squeezed the excess ink from my brush into my sketchbook. Then tried to draw myself as if I could see myself from the ceiling, walking. I was walking back and forth a lot between my space and the marathon for supplies, and I think I looked like this to all the spiders on the ceiling.
Self Portrait: September 4, 2011


Woody and I went to a diner for dinner. They had placemats and crayons, 'nuff said. I was feeling a little playful and a little fancy for some reason. So I drew myself with a monicle and in a uniform of sorts. Woody drew something too, he drew the two of us on an island watching the sun set... or rise, not sure.
Self Portrait: September 2, 2011

I was at camp and the bingo dabber was leaking, so I drained it onto a page and used it to focus a drawing or two. I also felt that the bright red spots were too graphic for realism so I cartooned on them.
Self Portrait: September 1, 2011

I wanted to have my face not be the focus of the image. So I broke it up and tried to use it as a design element.
Self Portrait: August 29, 2011

Drew some lines with a highlighter and then drew my face behind it. Again I didn't have a lot of time to do anything crazy. But it's cute and blue.
Self Portrait: August 28, 2011

I decided to work in some watercolour for no good reason. I wanted a warm background on one side and a light nuetral on the other to make the face look cooler and colourful. The hair is far to bright though.
Self Portrait: August 27, 2011

Was talking with some friends and realized that it was late and that a self portrait had to be made. I've been trying to work with negative and positive space a little bit as well.
