Well, that didn’t go too well. I managed to arrive 5 minutes late, and I forgot to bring a mirror like they told me to.

Oh well. Anyway, they had a spare mirror, and I had a go at doing a self portrate. It looked awful, obviously. Then the tutor had a look at my drawing from the homework exercise. I thought it was actually quite a good likeness, but she was so unimpressed with it that she made me do it again. Indeed, I spent about 90 minutes working and reworking just one tiny portion of the image, and the proportions are still incorrect.

What can I say? I guess I really really suck at drawing…

(For what it’s worth, nobody else seemed to have done quite as badly as me. I felt particularly singled out. Still, I suppose this is to be expected for one of inferior talent.)
