Background

This self-portrait is my first attempt. It was one of those graphics projects that had to be done for the practice. I think to become a better artist you should shift your focus (in my case from logos) to something outside the status quo.

What Works?

Although I don’t have many (or any) photos of me on this website, take my word for it that the portrait actually looks like me. With only a few pixels I was able to create shadows and highlights.

What Failed?

It’s a great resolution for my old 8-bit Nintendo. I should have made it larger. Using such a low resolution forced me to micro-manage pixel color and placement too often.
