A self-portrait for college that my professor asked me to do for part of a contest.
Overall the most difficult part was painting my face and actually making it look like me without exaggerating and the opposite.

_{Thank you for the support btw guys. I'm getting a little better. I feel really encouraged after reading all of your guys' comments on my last deviation and journal. It really helps. Although physically I'm not feeling so well but will be going to the doctor's in a few days~ I'm really sorry if I come off as moody lately, I'm just really not in the mood for anything atm.}
I'll try to reply to comments and notes tomorrow morning, goodnight guys <3 I haven't checked my notes and much of my messages yet so I'm sorry if it's something you need me to see asap!
