It's time I bit the bullet and posted one of my self portraits for critique. Although each of my drawings only serves to show me how far I've got to go, I think that this one does represent a minor improvement over previous efforts.
That said, please don't pull punches - you could never be harder on me than I am on myself. I will say this though: I'm more concerned about getting the basics right than I am about finish at the moment.
This was done over two 6 hour sessions, in charcoal, from life. If you're interested, I've posted some progress shots on my site
here.
Thanks in advance for your time.
