Self portrait

Very well done, a great portrait David.

Who's a handsome boy, then? (Hint: it's not me...) Good drawing - like the stubble...

Well DB, you finally got round to drawing a SP, this is the best model that you have, and is readily available at a moments notice - can you ask any more?. You could spend a lifetime drawing and painting just this face in so many ways. You have some good drawing skills, once you have all the technical stuff under your belt, (and you are mastering that aspect), start thinking creatively and express yourself like an artist. You have the ability, that much is clear, but you are in danger (in my opinion), of falling into the 'copying from photo's' of models and the like, the site is full of these, do you really want to join them?. I think you're better than that! However, keep on with these and more SP's for the time being, it's all good drawing practice. You will be thinking of oils next!, Gudrun's work is always worth studying.

Thanks all for the kind words... and Alan for the advice, which I am trying to take on board. Already thinking of oils but trying not to.
