Self Portrait no. 1 Sketchbook Skool

8.5x5.5 mixed media (watercolor pencils, colored pencils, watercolor) on paper done last week on day one of second Sketchbook Skool lesson in Seeing section.  Instructor Koosje Koene assigned our work for the next 7 days which was to focus on drawing ourselves, or selfies, as she called it.  This image was my first attempt drawing by looking in the mirror.  We could do another mirror pose, then two contour line drawings, two from photos, and one from imagination (yesterday's blog post).
