Well, this is my real self-portrait.
I love the use of shadows, and I realy like the final result on these piece.
The traces of the graphite must appear like a poor work, but well, it´s intentional.
Have some use of photoshop over the original draw - made in graphite and nankin - for the colors and the light.
I´m realy satisfect with the final result, ´cose I realy must to see myself on that.
Ok. Make a self-portrait must look like some type of edonism, but isen´t. Not in this case, at well. I was only exposing my own vision about myself.
Every night, wen I go to my draw table, I look for a dark window that show me this dark saide of myself. In the most recent times, is like I´m feeling myself: Dark. Almost Evil. I don´t like realy of these feeling, but is how I´m seeing myself on these moment.
If my soul find some peace on the future, probably I´ll be inclinated to make a more... Light self-portrait. For these time, it´s how I´m feeling.

run! no rain too hard - no wind too strong
pray! no blood too red - no cut too deep
stay! no pain too bad - no track too steep
fate! - I’m bound to live my destiny
hail! - my longing for eternity"

Oh, thank you so much!
I like to believe that I´m so powerful like my own shadows...

É a intenção.
Não sou exatamente um modelo de perfeição física, e creio que minhas sombras podem falar melhor sobre mim mesmo do que qualquer luz.
Mas esse sou eu. Tenho muito orgulho em dizer que eu estou realmente nessa obra.
Beijos.
Muito grato pelo teu (sempre muito bem vindo) comment, minha dama digital!
