I missed my painting class on Monday (I was on an airplane) so it had been more than a week since I'd done anything arty when we started a self portrait on Wednesday night. I started the night with a warm up, a nice way to refresh myself on a few techniques I'd learned the week before, and the benefit of being the only student in the class, I can take a half an hour to warm-up and practice before diving in if I want to. My real self portrait in still in-progress, but I thought I'd share my warm-up drawing from this week's class.

It is exactly what I think I'd look like if I was a character in a Sunday morning comic strip.
