Nice to meet you Christopher, a very good self portrait, lots of side eye concentration going on!

Giving yourself a very hard stare there.... irrelevantly, the hardest thing I find about portraits is the proportions of the specs; I tend to make the frames look like knitting, at least at first. But you have spectacles which would make an optician proud.

A well-modelled head with fine tonal changes. The glasses are really well drawn and painted' but are they too dominant?
