MS Paint Self-portrait, January 2026

I started this nearly four months ago. Had been meaning to complete it, but life and whatnot. Anyway, when I came back to this today I tried to focus more on the shadow… once I cleaned up the lines a bit.

When I do photography, I find myself thinking more about what will work in monochrome more than colour, and whilst the photo this is based off doesn’t come from that thinking, it looks the way it does due to how the shadows in it fall on me. As such, I wanted to try and capture that more in this work, and try to use shading to give the end result more of a sense of shape, so I hope that came through.

I hope you enjoy.
