I love these VJ! This sounds like such an interesting challenge. I hope you’ll share your whole two weeks’ worth once you’re done with them. From what I see here already, I know you’re going to have a fabulous collage of images once you’re done!

Okay, I’ll try. Does one close the eyes or look in a mirror?

Look in the mirror and concentrate on your face. Don’t look at the page.

I love this, VJ! In Kindergarten for my kids, they draw a self-portrait every month. It’s a fascinating exercise in self-awareness at that age — and maybe beyond!
