Pencil Self Portrait 2013

Description

Self portrait that I was assigned to do for my Life Drawing class. Typical of me to put this off until the last day, but I at least enjoyed working on this so it wasn't too bad for me.

I do see some flaws in terms of proportion since I did drew this while staring at myself in the mirror and not copying from a photo. But I have certainly improved from my last self portrait back in 2011.


I wanted to draw in my Pink Floyd Eveelutions hugelolcdn.com/i700/70070.jpg but I was too tired to continue and I didn't really have the patience for it. xD;

Welp, goodnight everyone!

You've certainly improved a great deal since your previous self portrait! Particularly with your technique. The shading is a lot smoother and the gradients in the hair are more fluid and sensical. I like the raised eyebrows, it provides a curiously adorable expression you don't typically see artists go for in self portraits. It also really looks like you, which is rather important for a self portrait! The lips appear a bit too turned towards the viewer, if that makes any sense. It's a little difficult to tell what the upper lip is doing. All in all, well done! Improvement is always something to be celebrated.
