I don’t like selfies. I rarely take or share photos of myself and I don’t much like drawing or painting myself either. But this week’s Old School Sktchy theme is “Self-Portrait” so I’ve drawn my first one in around a year. This one is very realistic, maybe next time I’ll exaggerate and play around a little more.
I drew myself on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app.
I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.
