Self Portrait


Here is a self portrait that I drew when I was 5 years old. Some of my favorite things about it are:
  • Freckles - I did have a lot of freckles when I was little. Apparently I thought they were very bold and only above my nose.
  • Earrings - I definitely did not have earrings when I was 5. Maybe I thought they would help distract from my grossly uneven ears. Come to think of it, those look like Mr. Potato Head ears...
  • Red hair - Is that a mistake or not? I did not have red bangs, but I wasn't colorblind either.
  • Apparently no clothes - need I say more?
Anyways, I think this is pretty good, considering. Blue eyes, pink cheeks, light skin, crooked smile, yellow hair. Yep, that was me all right.

That is AWESOME. You always have such fun ideas-- now I want to go through my stuff and see if I did anything like that. :)

Mindy you're so cute! I'm so impressed that you have a self portrait of you when you were 5. I think I probably would have chucked it... I'm not very sentimental.

That is actually a really good self portrait for a 5 year old. You wouldn't believe some of the crazy self portraits I've seen. Thanks for sharing it.
