First ever self Portrait

So last week I made a decision to try and do a self portrait , am I mad mmm possibly. I used a grid system to get the dimensions right , but then instead of painting like I would normally I thought id try and do it using coloured pencil. I am actually fairly happy with how its coming along but I know it could be way better with practice. Today I am going to petts wood art group and thought id continue working on it there . Once it is finished I shall post a picture of it.

Hi ingrid I used a photo

Hi Amanda, I'm a complete beginner, but admire that you plow ahead with a self portrait. This may sound a bit dumb, do you use a photo, or a mirror, or are you comfortable with just knowing your own contours?

Looking forward to seeing your work Amanda!
