Too many colours, psh.

This is amazing stuff. I've always been kinda intimidated by oil pastels and things of that nature... I cling to computers and coloured pencils in a really, really pathetic way. I think my art teacher hates me for it.

And then, I see stuff like this, and it's like, my fingers start itching to try something new. I love it when people use different colours instead of just changing the value or the saturation to do shadows and highlights... and in this case it's pulled off to like, this perfect degree. It looks kind of spontaneous and *alive,* if you know what I mean.

Totally loving it.

And now, for irony, I will +fav your self-portrait that I found when you +faved mine. HAH.
