Self

My digital illustration project requires me to write a short biography about myself that will inspire a self-portrait. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble narrowing down what to say.

This is what I've got so far:

I am a small, reserved 20-year-old living in New Zealand and studying to be an illustrator/graphic designer. My hobbies include drawing, sarcasm, punctuation, sitting quietly, tea, and lurking.

Underneath the quiet exterior is a mildly eccentric personality and an easily distracted imagination. I try hard to be friendly but natural introversion has made me prefer listening over talking. I also have an expansive personal space bubble enforced by icy silence and a disdainful stare.

I enjoy creating things and using my hands – this includes art and design but also cooking and playing video games. I spend a lot of time dozing. Beautiful things please me - I tend to be more concerned with aesthetics than practicality. 

I am mostly logical, analytical, and critical but am easily swayed by emotions. I prefer wants over needs, although my strong sense of self-control makes me have frequent arguments with myself. I’m often affected by clashes of consciences. I get easily worked up over things I consider important, which is not the same as things that are important.   

It's kind of a mess at the moment, so if you guys have suggestions, please do. 

Also, because my posts feel empty if I don't have pictures, this is some of the work I've done in class. The first one is in the style of Gustav Klimt, the other inspired by Edgar Degas.
