Whoever drew self-portraits before mirrors?
Mirrors have been around for 8000 years.

I wonder when the first self portrait was done. Was it done before the invention of the mirror (from a pool of water, or from just an idea of oneself)?

>The first mirrors used by people were most likely pools of dark, still water, or water collected in a primitive vessel of some sort. The earliest manufactured mirrors were pieces of polished stone such as obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass.
Cool.
You take a sheet of very thin metal and smash your face into it really fast. The resulting dent has the shape of your face, and the rest you just guess.
