RAotW #4
It’s been a couple weeks since the last edition of Reader Art of the Week, but here we are: back in action!
This week’s art comes to us from blog reader Marissa by way of the recent OWL blog post about International Youth Day. In the post, I challenged you all to draw self portraits. Marissa was up to the challenge, and she sent me the portrait below.
Check it out:
Cool, huh?
As Marissa says, “I drew this self portrait because I LOVE art! I had this idea: what if all the kids in the world drew self portraits? You could see the diversity of everyone and every nation.”
Many thanks to Marissa for sharing her drawing with us. I’ve already got some reader art lined up for next week, but that doesn’t mean you guys should stop sending me stuff. Send drawings! Send stories! Send poems! The OWL inbox awaits.
Talk to you later.

nice job marrissa, self portraits are so hard…especially to get all the proportions…what i like to do is take a pic of me, download it to the computer print it then use a light table and just trace it 😛 then its perfect
