Simple Things- I am Chickasaw

In keeping with our weekly journal goal Im posting Week 2 of Portraits.

Im not trying for a technically perfect drawing ( couldn't do it anyway even if I wanted to).

I picked parts of me and went from there.

Its strange how we never really look at ourselves till we are trying to draw. I glance at myself daily in the mirror but don't really "see". In fact I forgot how old Im getting!

I took pictures of myself (kinda weird) so I could look at my face more closely.

I was surprised at how Native American my features were.

Im just beginning to explore my Chickasaw heritage and didn't intend for my drawing to go that way but such is the joy and nature of Art.
