Self portraits 6 - 10
Quick one using non-waterproof Quink ink, and a skewer.
Acrylic on primed paper. I really wanted to have a go at my hair.
Diluted Indian ink washes using a brush (this one is my favourite for today).
Coloured pencils on black thick paper - based on this photo taken by Sunshine.
By now I'm bored - dip pen in Indian ink.
Can you tell which ones are from life, and which ones from photos? Which side my hair grip is on gives a clue. Also, as you can see, I was wrapped up in my red scarf today - its been mighty cold! 10 down and another 20 to go ...
Am working at college as a 'student ambassador' the next two days - so a break from the portraits. Also, if any of my readers are potential UWE illustration students and coming for route-A interviews tomorrow, do say hello!

My favorites so far are the last one here and the first one on the previous post. I never hear of quink ink before. And you used a skewer? Like a dip pen? Cool.
