Sketches and Drawings
by Samuel Febres
For whatever reason when I came home tonight I really wanted to do a quick self portrait. So I brilliantly (and by brilliant, I mean completely retardedly) grabbed a box of crayons cause they’re so easy to use (more sarcasm) and decided to draw my face. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but it could be better. I’m not quite sure where the desire to do this came from. Maybe it came from watching the animation in Waltz with Bashir, I dunno. So I did a crayon drawing and then I started on a self portrait with some colored pencils. The colored pencil was starting to look pretty good I thought, but I picked the most uncomfortable position imaginable to do it, so I didn’t quite finish since my back started hurting. I thought I’d share what I got. Maybe I’ll keep doing these if I can find a more comfortable position.
Just for kicks, I scanned some self portraits I did from way back in the day. It’s been quite a while since I’ve sat down to draw. Thoughts?
Crayon Self Portrait:
This is the first one I’ve done in a long time. Using crayons? Dumb.
Black Colored Pencil:
Self portrait #2. My back started hurting because of the weird position I was in. Didn’t finish this one. I might try again later.
The following are ‘historical self portraits.’ I did these ages ago but really liked the way they turned out then and even now. I might try more like these again.
I like to call this one my Steve Urkle Sam sketch.
