Side-profile of self. Two mirrors
were put up, one on my left, the other my right. Image
referred to was the left side of my face, meaning I
looked at the right mirror. Okay... that's confusing. Final:
(18th Jan 99) |
This is the fourth
self-portrait I've done within these two years. (But I
only scanned three.) Self portraits can mean more than
just narcissism and whatever unfound accusations, for
self portraits can be reflective of one's psyche and
position (figuratively speaking) at the point of drawing.
Flaws: Lips are done strangely. |

Portrait
of Joeann. Final:
(6th Jan 99) |
I was Joeann's portraiture model for
the whole of the past year, hence when I had an
assignment to do, I called her down to 'repay the many
hours of modelling' I did for her. She obliged, and the
"ideal version of me"(as mouthed by Joe) was
drawn. Of course she had to meddle with the piece a
little. Flaws: If you didn't know, that bad streak on the right of the pic at her neck, is supposed to be her friggin hair-tail. |

Self
portrait, full frontal. Final: (22nd Dec 98) |
The picture isn't complete, as I cut
away a whole lot of it when scanning. This is perhaps the closest resemblance to me I can get from portraits of myself, by whoever it is. Most people instantly recognise me when looking at this. The portrait was also rather reflective; I was trying to do a good portrait for an obituary of myself. Hence that strange sense of vacancy and aloof. |

Self
portrait, 3 quad upwards. Final: (4th Dec 98) |
This was the second portrait done in the december holidays. (The first scanned.) This was of me wearing the Red Ribbon for AIDS. The mirror had to be tilted to an odd angle to capture this view. Most people think this portrait emits a sense of condescension and arrogance. |

Portrait
of an Arab model for my Promotional Exams. Final:
(Early-Sept 98) |
For my Promotional Exams (the examination taken by all first year students to determine if they should promote to the second year), I was to do a portraiture and include the face, shoulders, arms and hands. I couldn't get a model, so joined another friend in doing her model. The portraiture obviously doesn't resemble the model, her skin colour isn't as Chinese-skin toned, and personally, I think this one looks like an alien. |
