Self-Portraiture

I have just finished TWO self portraits for Basic Drawing. The first was done from a picture, and the second while looking in the mirror. The first went really well; it actually resembles me fairly closely. The second was the one I wanted to cry about. It's really frustrating to have to look at yourself and draw it at the same time. The motion of looking from the mirror to the paper made it impossible to hold the same face the whole time. It was a frustrating ordeal.

Last night Jenn and I went to the Halloween party with Dan, Nick, Jen, and Chase. It was fun to dress up. I haven't done the Halloween costume thing in years. We had a good night. Oh and besides just dressing up for halloween and having fun, when we were walking I found a man's phone on the ground and called one of the recent calls to find out whose it was. Then I took it to the Iowa House, where he was staying, and gave it to the front desk to return to him. I felt very good about myself. It was my good samaritan act for the week!
