Self Portrait (age 3): I started with a big round shape for my head, because that is the part of me I know best, and everything else came after.

Reflection

Demo upload — fictional process demonstration. This drawing was not made by an Artisan user. It is republished here as sample content from a freely licensed work on Wikimedia Commons. Original file: File:Autoportrait - enfant - 3 ans.jpeg Author / uploader: User:Aratal Licence: CC BY-SA 3.0 — https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Autoportrait_-_enfant_-_3_ans.jpeg About the process images and captions: the three process images in this entry are programmatically generated stage images — a fictional reconstruction of how a drawing like this might develop over time (earliest rough sketch, then block-in, then the step closest to completion). They are NOT crops, greyscale versions or rescaled derivatives of the final image, and they do not record the original author’s real working process. The first-person step captions are fictional demo narration written for illustration; they are not the words of the original author, and nothing about the original author — no biography, diagnosis or personal history — is claimed here.
