Years later I worked tirelessly over pencil drawings of my favourite musicians only to struggle once again at university with the newly discovered medium of oil paints.
This is a short and colourful watercolour study of April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation; her stony gaze made for a great relaxed portrait.
Over the last few weeks I've been teaching my painting class step by step self-portraits - tutorials will be up at the end of next week and include guidance for oil and acrylic paints.
I knew who it was before I read it. I think the defining feature is her left eye which you got perfect. Well done! I'm going to promote this. EDIT: I was until I realized I don't have the steem ☹️

Thank you @renodakota, it means a lot to me that you would think to promote my work! You're right, she's a bit off in places, the left eye probably is the most accurate. I kinda like that offsettedness too; my self portrait is going up today, its quite lopsided but maybe that portrays me best :P

I didn't mean to imply that her eye was the only good thing, nor did I want to make you feel criticized! Sorry if it came off that way man.
