Vanity Day

Conceptart.org has officially consecrated the first of November as International Self-Portrait Day, the rules of which are as follows:

If you are an artist, of any kind, do your self portrait.
If you haven't done it yet, do your self portrait.
If you did more than 1000, do your self portrait.
If you want to take part in a massive internet art event, do your self portrait.
If you failed to express yourself through art, do your self portrait.
If your art is better than any of your self portraits, do your self portrait.
If you have reconsidered art after seeing Android's SPOD's, do your self portrait.
If you want to make a step to a brand new ZEN EXPERIENCE, do your self portrait.
If you want to take part in a world record, do your self portrait.

So there you go. As you can see, I took some pretty bold liberties and drew a picture of a caucasian male. Sketched in Photoshop and referenced from a digital photo.

If you're interested in seeing other people's submissions (and trust me, you are), then you can check out the official thread right here.

That is a radnormous and pretty bad-ass portrait Pat. Nice! Well done!
