This reminds me of the series of self portraits drawn by an artist with dementia.

That's so fucked up.
Well maybe it's just a reflexion of his interior self, expressing the piece of shit he was
I love the first one. It’s so creepy.
It's just Remi Malik.
Nice try, it's clearly Iwan Rheon.
I wouldn't say I love it, but it's def haunting. It has a feeling to it that the other two are missing
I don’t know the correct terms to explain why I like it so much. Something to do with the simplicity of it. Yet the skin of the face almost looks like an old photo - realistic but slightly blurred/lacking finer details. Haunting is the perfect way to describe it.
the last one is more accurate, but less precise.
It's clear that his slide into schizophrenia was complete.
I've seen similar pictures drawn by artists that passed away from Alzheimer's and it really shows how sad mental illnesses are for those afflicted by it.

Picasso's self-portrait at ages 18, 25, and 90.
[Three self portraits of Pablo Picasso are shown. The first is a grayscale drawing with realistic form. The second is in color and is a blocky-looking human in a suit of some kind. The third is a highly abstract color drawing with almost zero realism.]
This is why Picasso was so great. He was actually able to produce figurative art, but made a style and a new direction.
Not like any chump trying to draw modern because they actually cant draw for shit and excuse it by saying it's art and other simply don't understand.
