Self

A self portrait I did for Art, created with graphite. Great Scott, did I ever have trouble with this! It wasn't hard to actually get it out... that part was fun, just little things.

The hair I was initially pleased with. It could be better, and the part irks me, but it's still fine with me. I did start to rush towards the bottom half of the entire portrait, because I needed to get it in on time and was slacking a bit...

Heh, the collar is actually white and did have shading. What happened was I got a terrible nosebleed, and it landed right on the while collar! Ugh, so to fix it, I just made it black. And you can still see where the blood was, and how I made it too dark at first. The blood spot looked kind of cool, to be honest, but it wasn't working out.

The big crease is from when someone sat on the board when it was upright. With advice, I ended up adding more hair width wise, and trying to include it into the hair.

The nose, ear and left part of the glasses are bugging me. Heh, I know what I did there, though.

Any comments greatly appreciated, as I will be doing touch ups on it when I get it back.
