Some people love selfies. They’re willing to risk their lives in pursuit of the perfect profile pic. Not everyone is a fan of these glamour shots, though. How about you?
Do you find gratuitous selfies off-putting, annoying, or in poor taste? Are you tired of seeing them in your feed? Maybe it’s time to fight fire with fire – maybe it’s time for an un-selfie.
This is basically a selfie like any other, except you’re going to draw this one. Oh, and you can’t look at the paper while you’re drawing. Oh yeah, and you can’t lift your pen/pencil from the paper. Sound good? Ready to see what your hands think your face looks like? Sit down in front of a mirror, put your pen or pencil to the paper, and start drawing.
This will probably be the most un-glamorous, un-flattering selfie you’ve ever taken, but it will be a beautiful picture of how your eyes and your hands communicate with each other. It’s a really great way to handicap yourself as an artist so that you can get to the core of how you see the world…or at least your own face.
