You think so? When I was drawing it, I felt to keep the stare at the onlooker, as if I was frozen in thought and consideration. That's how I felt...
But you are correct.
Everything you draw has a part of you in it...and the more emotion you can let out, the potentially better it could become. Intellectualizing a drawing, and I've done that also, makes it flat and near lifeless.
One of the worst jobs I ever had was when I was trying to get back on my feet after becoming homeless with my wife and the kids a SECOND time...and I wrote articles freelance for companies like Disney, and tech-research....it was all facts and certain tones that were non negotiable.
...I was never allowed to be me.
I did get so good at it, they assigned me a full-time editor, and I was the first freelancer they'd hired that was allowed to go against their company policy:
I got to cherry pick my jobs, and I could take as many as I wanted (company limit was 3, until done)...because I ALWAYS met the deadlines.
Don't remember the Editors name...though I think it was Susan...even she agreed... "Soul-Sucking" was the term nearly all the company writers called it.
I really like this drawing because while it is a fun one of you, it also captures some of the emotion of being a writer.

I think that applies to a lot of creativity. Intellectualizing it saps the life.
