If I drew myself If I drew a self-portrait I’d use watercolor pencils They’re easier to work with And it’s just as easy to blend They give more defined lines A great choice I would think I’d begin with an outline Drawn in a mistaken Grey or oops blue Working my way bottom to Top and right to left to maximize the unwanted Smudges that will later become the mistakes which weren’t my own I would move onto my face. Switching to a false green color to start on My eyes. Coloring the right iris, heavy handed the tip breaks. I sharpen it Color in more as it goes from fake green to saddened black I stab through The canvas bringing in some light from behind. Moving onto the left now I go from green to useless brown. I’d dip the tip in water and just let the Pencil sit, stuck to the canvas the color drips down the cheek pooling at The jawline before stopping as if not wanting to let go. Snap goes the lead Throwing away the pencil so it doesn’t bleed onto the other colors I move Onto the lips this time. I’d go with pale promise to compliment the right eye I would add hints of passive anger red and narcissism orange as highlights For the skin I’d color it in disappointment, several shades, to show definition I would then take a brush and dip it in water. I’d blend all the colors so it looks Natural. Blending disappointment with anger, narcissism with uselessness Fake with disappointment and the mistakes with everything that they touch Once the painting dries I’d look onto the creation with the same look that a Famous painter would give their child when they're told their painting ***** I would reluctantly sign my name, take a step back, and crumble the painting Into a ball and throw it away saying to myself “I know you can do better”
