Well this was a massive pain in the butt. I knew I'd have to get this printed, and wanted to- if at all possible- get it printed the size it would be if I had drawn it by hand. We've been working on 22" x 30" paper. So this was the largest I've ever drawn on the computer, ridiculously large. I don't think I ever actually zoomed in to work anything more than 50%. You can download it for a larger size, and thats still less than half the full resolution.

Anyway, I didn't get a good picture of our first self portrait assignment, but I knew if I didn't do something more challenging I would lose motivation and poop out. I kind of did that anyway, but thats just how I work. I went and got this printed out giant at Kinkos, and it cost me a pretty penny. Printed out real dark, I lost most of the fur and hair to the background, and when I got home I realized that I had left the layer with texturing off for the final save. HURRrr.

Only the few people in my art class who know me on deviantart will see this with all its colors right. Here you go Micah and Julia!
