I've discovered Gibson Girls while I was looking up different types of old hair styles. Unbeknown to me, this "Gibson Girl " hair style was the thing I was looking for. I read about how the Gibson Girl was created by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. It's wonderful really, you all should take a look at Wikipedia or other informational sites and educate yourselves a little about artistic history.

The model is myself. I've been doing a lot of self portraits recently and I'm sorry if it seems selfish of me. For a long time I wouldn't do self portraits simply because I felt it was a sign of selfishness. However, I've been learning a lot about myself lately and well, I draw what I feel is beautiful, and sadly I have not thought of myself as beautiful for most of my life. Things have changed, and I've changed. And now I see what I've willingly neglected for too long. So now it's time to make up for it. I probably won't post all of my experiments with self portraits (wouldn't want to bore you) but I do have a urge to flaunt myself. It is as if you would look in the mirror and see something new, different, and beautiful. You would be amazed as I am. So please bear with me as I enter this stage. Thank you.
