This is my very first, and most likely last self portrait I will ever draw of myself.
It's strange, yes. Only one. Not really the only one, I've drawn others ... perhaps you can tell by looking at my gallery, but not one like this. I don't want to turn this into some sort of angst filled description for my artwork, but like we all, I have issues with how I look.
As I stare at myself in the mirror, I only see something vile staring back at me. A creature. A vicious, evil, monstrous animal glaring back at me. Clouding and tormenting my mind with endless waves of calamity.
Others see a mask.
I do not know when it will end.

If that's what you look like irl, I would catch myself staring in awe, a lot. This is beautiful, but I also fully understand being unhappy with your appearance, so I'm not going to be one of those "Don't be hard on yourself!" people. I constantly struggle with my feelings on my appearance. My reflection is attractive to many, but I personally hate it.
