One Year

I've finished one year. And how is it?


Well, my self-image has gotten more positive. I feel that I am a confident, beautiful woman, in my second year of college, with a wonderfully supportive family and boyfriend. I'm not sure if this is a result of the self-portraits, but they definitely were part of the transformation.

I'm not any more self-aware- I still trip over anything and everything. Artistically? I don't know if I've progressed so much. I've found a sort of style I like, which is the bottom half of #365. It reminds me of the old 1950s cartoons. It was good to experiment in styles- I've done that with me short exercise animations, too.

Next year I'll try to work with more realism, which will help my cartoons and get me out of the cartoon rut my self-portraits look like they're stuck in. Also, I found a mini watercolor set in my room, so I'll use that for as long as I can. I miss painting.

I wish I hadn't decided to start my 365 during finals, but I did, and now I'm doing watercolor self-portraits during finals. At least summer is looking up.

Another Year! Here's the first batch.
