I cannot do what the artist did for his self portrait.
He can draw very freely.
But I very rigid in my drawing sometimes.
I have been trying to change my way of drawing but it still the same.

Hope to have chance to try different ways of drawing and painting in future :)

I wonder why the artist love portrait drawing so much.
He drew so much of self portrait,
which I myself can't do.
His drawing is unique and impressive.
Have to do more research on him to know him better :)
