OLD crappy painting

Another OLD OLD OLD painting. It's so old that I can't remember if it's in oils or acrylics, but I think it's oils. I cropped it because it is so old and crappy that I didn't want to show the whole thing. It's very embarrassing, and I do have some pride!

This is an example of a face I did with no reference (no photo or model to look at). I can and have done better than this, but there was something about this face that I liked just enough to show here. But it's still really crappy!

I Photoshopped a few small details that were bothering me, or things that I don't think turned out well in the scan.

I went through a lot of old artwork today, and while some of it was not too awful, a lot of it was depressingly, soberingly BAD. I used to think I wasn't that awful when I was a student studying art, but boy was I wrong. Some of my artwork STUNK. But then other things looked okay. But it was a good lesson for me, because it reminds me that memories can be faulty things. I had conveniently forgotten about all the really awful drawings and paintings I created! LOL.
