Why do you think that people draw self portrait or portraits of other people in General, and how have portrait helped and or affected people throughout history?
It can have many reasons, such as gifting them, wanting ppl to remember them, enjoying drawing them, or it can have a meaning behind it. Portraits have showed many undiscovered stuff to us, such as someone famous who has done Sth great.
well this one time when this one old guy was painting a portrait of me iforgot where i think down town.Anyway i asked him why he likes doing them. and he said i like to look a person from my perspective pay attention to details its like how you look into a mirror and see yourself but not just seeing ourself but actually knowing your flaws are there but not seen. I paint the detail of the person of what there blind eyes cant see or dont want to be seenaits justthe painting of the person itself but the flaws of that person seen . Honestly when he told me this i was kinda confused on what he meant but yea that he said.
