Portrait of Korian Gray

So in my drawing class we've been drawing each other's profiles and it's a lot of fun... except when I'm the one getting drawn.  It make me so self conscience. Getting my picture taken is one thing but having someone draw your portrait is a whole other story, especially when they are profiles.  This has got me thinking about the whole "self perception" thing.  I am truly my harshest critic and I only see the imperfections and the things I'd like to change.  I've really been trying to stop doing this and just accept the way I look and even try and like it.  It's definitely easier said than done though.  It's my life long goal to be able to see a picture of myself and not be afraid of what I  look like.  That would be awesome. 

But anyways, 

I've started taking pictures of the portraits people draw of me and I have the beginnings of an awesome little collection.  I really like looking at different people's interpretations of my face, they are all trying to get an exact likeness but you can clearly see that some are more successful than others and you can see the different ways that they draw, no one draws the same, it's so interesting to me.  I really love learning it.
