Hi everyone. My name is Corey. I’m a life long artist but needed an excuse to paint again. This contest gave me a chance to try some new things like working with an actual color palette. The hand is a little wonky but atleast my mustache is on point. This is acrylic on canvas.

That's it I'm calling it done! Based off a Princess Mononoke cosplay I wore to work for a Halloween costume competition (I won the competition but only 5 people at work knew who Princess Mononoke was).
Painted with oil paint. Constructive criticism on anything, including oil painting, composition, light and shadow, clothing folds, face planes and anatomy, appreciated! I feel like I have a flat face that doesn't quite lend itself to planes very well.
Good luck everyone!

Hey! Absolutely LOVE this piece!! Mononoke is such an icon right?? And only thing I can think of if @paper hasn’t already mentioned would be stronger light contrast, and perhaps lose the details in everything but the face using some kind of blending tool? Kinda a focus blur on everything but the main focal points (could contrast with perhaps keeping the necklace stronger in details too? But yeah, stronger contrast in face and necklace compared to everything else and it’ll pop nicely! The brights on the shirt are a bit bright which adds a bit too much contrast and attention to it unless that’s what you had planned. But yeah it already pops very nicely!! Great work Charlene!!🤘🖤🤘

This was an awesome challenge!
The melting roses decorating the mirror represent my passionate but withering ambitions, while my skeleton reflection pressures me to realize these dreams before it's too late!

This is just meant to be a study before I do the main thing. Lol I look like an evil psychotic polka dot clown. If I could please have constructive criticism on anatomy, face planes, light and shadow and shape design. I'm aware the shading is messy as this was meant to be a quick study before the main event. Graphite pencil on cartridge paper.

The series I worked on this year is called Reclamation, and speaks to the idealisation of the female body.
As recognised artists have predominantly been men, inspired by the female body and therefore projecting their gaze onto it, I believe it is important for more women to be recognised as Artists and for them to define their own bodies. La Femme - always mystified, elegant, sexy, the artist's muse and effortlessly envoutante - is almost stripped of her humanity and deified. Women are first and foremost human beings, who shit smell laugh cry fight jump run fall travel speak read eat play in other words live. And their bodies are first and foremost vehicles for them to experience life, and as such they stretch bend bloat change and adapt.
In this series, I aim to reclaim my (female) body for what it is: a vehicle of life. Neither an object of desire nor mystical femininity, simply a vessel which allows me to exist in 3D and try out the "human experience". Nothing less, nothing more.

Hello, I know that the challenge is about self-portraits in color, but I'm primarily an inker, so I decided to post my pen and ink drawings. I also include a quick painting study of my reflection in the mirror.
