Hey, it's here too! and it IS a self portrait! I thought so ^_^ Sure enjoyed this one from your website. Very realistic yet artistic. There's somethingabout how you shade that I enjoy very much; it looks real, yet is very suggestive of an illustration; this is wonderfully composed as well. Brilliant work
wow... looks awesome hun.. i dont know why i found it hard to do self portraits... u would think it would be easy cuz no one knows your face better but for a while i was struggling with my own face... thats just weird.. but i think i finally broke out of it and did one that im happy with.. anyway this is incredible. :) love the shading!
as a pencil artist myself, i know a good "pencil" when I see one Gareth. Fantastic style and technique my friend. I have said to some others that I feel that drawing one's self is sometimes easier, because who knows your face better than you. I feel my best "pencil" is a self-portrait that I did. Show us some more of your "pencil" work.--Denny
