LECTURES
- A self-portrait is a self representation in the form of a drawing/painting/sculpture/design. It is a visual depiction of the self.
- A self-portrait artwork represents the designer/artist in other words, how he sees himself/herself, what he's feeling, and how he wants to be seen by others. It's not necessarily about creating a realistic image of yourself; instead, it's often an exercise in self-exploration.

This is my second sketch of my self portrait that I follow the feedback that lecture gave. I use a circle of a pattern to draw a face inside. The face is representing that I am always thinking some of the pattern that from zentangle, to from an artwork with some ideas. Therefore, the design principles that I had used are balancing and contrast.
