Over the years, I've made quite a few self-portraits. And that has nothing to do with an excess of self love but with the fact that I can't afford models, so, I have to pose myself.
First I make photos of myself (with remote and tripod), so I have something concrete to start with.
These drawings are study means, in order to exercise and to keep myself sharp. In addition to ratio, composition and other image aspects, I'm also intensively engaged in light.
Something I captured well in the following work.
'Studie #218' (Self portrait - Diptych)
Walnut ink on paper
