Self portrait WIP! I punched the canvas when first started but now we are respectful to one another👍 (hexbear.net)

Yay yay yippety yay yay!

😀 I love art. Does art love me? I’m not sure. Self portrait is hard. It feels like I HAVE TO KNOW MYSELF AND THIS ART IS AN EFFORT TO DEFINE ONESELF and it is like AHHHHHHHHHH I can’t do it. Oh well. ! I had another draft before this, then I started pinching slapping scratching punching the canvas (not with my whole strength) with paint and frustration! After like weeks I finally revisited this, and I think… I THINK THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE!! (Added the snail person and sea TODAY)

I’m not the paint master, nor a knower of the strokes, just a lover of the arts 👍

Mmm, I’m not very experienced with painting, or oil paints, so please let me knoweth of your tips and suggestions! :D

Learning to be faster, not worry about visible brush stroke texture, accept mistakes and draw confidently and not try to hone into one spot over and over
