A selfie, sort of. A sketch of me, if I looked a little different. So, really, it’s a character sketch based on me. Sketching seems to be a series of choices. Which features do I include? Which features do I imply? How close to reality do I take this? How much do I let the intuitive, organic line lead this? How much do I re-work it? How many studies do I make before I settle on a “final”? Does it deliver emotional information?

What choices are you making, lately?
