So, I'm head-first diving into portraits. Not wading. Diving. Why not, I mean it's a long-standing artistic tradition to make oneself the subject of your own work, right? You know the usual suspects: Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Cezanne, Sargent, Leonardo... the list goes on and on.

But I'm no Master, and that's why I'm picking on myself. Who else can I pick on? Struggling artists need subjects. In this case, any mirror will do. And that's what sketching is all about for me. That's what art is all about... the journey, not the destination. Doing it. Diving in.
