Description:

If you stopped by and have enough time, I may tell you the story of that pic that finally will make you laugh at last !! everyone in my school knows I'm distinguished in drawing specially in self portrait, in fact I'm not that excellent one in my study that much as in art . they used to give the one who is excellent in any branch a sign like a plastic id card to be clipped on his or her shirt . for example the one who is excellent in science he got a card shows he is the best in science and so on .. I got only just one card clipped on my chest showing I'm excellent in art .. although they never let me win any reward in any drawing competition in the school ! they always say it's impossible that the artwork I submit is mine, they believe someone else who did it or at least helped me ! anyway this is not the point yet .. well, one day the headmaster heard about me so he asked to meet my parents to show him much more drawing for me . my mother went to meet him having as many as she could bear from my artwork, he promised to upload some of them with a self pic for me in the school web site, but that never done also ! recently we got a new teacher in art, surprised I found she gave me in the monthly test 5 over 20 .. I went to ask her why you gave me such that low mark while in other classes some they cann't draw better than me they got 20 over 20 ? she said those in the other classes behaved more than your class so you are not the only one in the class you got that bad mark but all the others also ! before I went back to my place she called me; John ! I said yes, she said this is my brother's pic (the small colored one) if you can draw nice self portrait for him I'll edit your mark to be 20 over 20 . I was very hesitated but at last I agreed ! I started to draw, it was very hard to do it, it's hard to draw something you don't like, I felt it's like a homework drawing, I cann't make homework drawing, I have to feel what I like to draw . my parents pushed me hard to do it, and when I started I used the eraser lot of times, I never do that with any drawing ! I drew then I erased a big part of it to redraw it worse than before, then I erased and erased and drew worse and worse .. I know the drawing is full of defects and I felt happy for that, I can see defects in the hair, the ears, lot of defects I can adjust, but I'll never do it ! by the way I still have 5 over 20 ha ha ha !! thanks for the patient guys who stand to read that boring story !!!

Hey, John - I was interested in your story of how this drawing came to be done. But even though you didn't enjoy working on this, I see a wonderful beauty in this man's eyes, and lovely lines in the contour of his face and hair. The overall effect of the drawing, to me, is beautiful. Looking at his eyes, I would think you did this drawing with a loving feeling, rather than dislike. Did you show it to your art teacher?
