Art Therapy: Self Portrait

Drawing a self portrait is not only a great creative outlet, it's also an opportunity to help you become more self aware and build your self esteem!  This exercise is a valuable tool to depict how you see yourself and how other people see you. 

Self Portrait Age 7

                                  This is me.                                 How I saw myself (with monster jugs!)

All you need is a mirror, paper, and something to draw with! 

Feel free to get creative! This is a judgment free zone!

OK let's get started!

Now, look in the mirror, and draw what you see.
Be sure to leave out your zits.
Oh yeah, don't add that double chin.
Could you thicken your hair, and make it longer and blonder?
Oh yeah one eye is a little bigger than the other one. Fix that for sure, would ya?
Delete the mole on your face. It looks pretty sick, you should probably get that checked out after this.
Leave off your dark under eye circles, you look like a monster.
You probably should make your teeth less yellow and crooked while you are at it.


Never mind. You suck at drawing.
