Four Polaroid self-portraits in front of a striped projector background. A spotlight highlights the face in the center of each frame. The images have a moody, cinematic feel, shared in honor of Halloween

Briefly reactivating this account to let y’all know I’m ’retired’ from taking & sharing self portraiture here. Instead I created an account for my drawings and sketches, which I’ve been focusing on for the past several months. If you’re interested in that, you can find me @artbyjade.bsky.social

Anyway, hope y’all have been well and sorry for vanishing without a trace lol. Needed to take some time to figure out what direction I wanted to go to with my art

And for those who prefer my analog photography all of that will solely be posted on IG @jade__film. It’s mainly a mixture of travels, street style, and landscapes

That was the first and only shot

each image tells its own story. But yes, the first image has many components to it that makes it a bit more β€œinteresting”

The only thing I think about is not to mess up the line work πŸ˜‚

All jokes aside, I’ve been mainly doing these to get a better understanding the female body at different anglesβ€”really just been a daily exercise for me

so the thing I’m thinking about is perspective and the line work to match that

When I had said that β€˜isn’t school’, I meant more formal education because I can’t afford full-blown art school.

But this is essentially what I’m looking forβ€”something that is of similar formality without the degree attached to it

Black and white self-portrait taken at an angle in front of a spotlight. I’m holding a daisy and looking away from the camera. My shadow is cast on the wall behind me, outlining my face, shoulder, hand, and the flower. Light catches my cheekbones, brow bridge

Black and white self-portrait against a spotlighted wall. I’m leaning into the wall, face turned away, one arm reaching above and out of frame. Light traces my back and the top of my butt. The angle shows the wall, ceiling, and floor

I was torn between which ones to share. So here’s two to help with my indecisiveness

This seems great for someone who has a pretty good grasp on drawing to begin with. And it seems like a good resource to connect with others, I’m just not at that point yet

They just seem to have so many options, I don’t know where I’d even begin

I truly just need something that’s simplified, geared towards someone who’s starting from the ground up

I’m just trying to understand the basic concepts and techniques & build from there. because I’ve just been winging it since I started to paint (last year) & sketch (this year)

really just need a thorough understanding & go from thereβ€”lots of info I’m lacking or don’t remember from drawing as a kid

ah okay. the failing parts is something I’m always weary about

I’m still on the lookout for a point & shoot that takes great images & has a built in flash

They sell for about $400+ currently on eBay!

I saw someone on Reddit score one at a charity bank for $10 last night, which prompted my current interest in it

the thing about that is I’m β€œfun employed” or what I like to call it in a micro retirement

So I don’t have a steady income atmβ€”just living off savings, freelance revenue, and a prayer

which means I should not be buying anymore cameras. but I want that one so badly lol

how long have you been drawing for? Curious to know how long this level of skill set takes to develop :)
