PaperFaces self portrait of Michael Rose

Digital watercolor and pencil portrait of a faceless bearded man in glasses and flat cap, sitting on chair in front of two computer screens.

Thirty-four years and still kicking — a PaperFaces self portrait on my birthday. Loving the new zoom tool that made added small details to my beard fun and painless. Thanks FiftyThree!
