Self Portrait



 This completely unflattering photo was taken by my friend Kyla, who said, and I quote "You should use this one for your self-portrait!". So here it is lol.
     This was done in a pretty short amount of time, and I've never actually done a "Self Portrait" before. I think if I had spent a few more hours learning a few more techniques, I could have done a much better job.  There are a few areas I'd like to improve on; especially shading, and spacing, which are two of the things that stand out to me as weaknesses in this drawing; the lips being my main complaint. The drawing was done with pencils; 3H for the main drawing, 4H for lighter areas, H for harder lines, B for darkening, and a black colored pencil for added darkness. Overall I think I did a decent job, and I am looking forward to improve my drawing ability as this class progresses.
