Self portraits thus far

Recently I have been trying to get my drawings and self portraits of myself to look better,
I still have a long way to go in this task but I think i'm making slow
progress, and have been experimenting with different ways of going
about it.

These are some drawings i've done of my self over the past few months more or
less.

I was quite please with this one, it has a softness to it I like, I think because I look calm and relaxed in my expression, or at least that how i've drawn
it.




























Where as this one is more of an aggressive pose I am pulling , especially if you look in the
eyes, which look quite angry and squinted.





This one is my latest drawing self portrait (well that I've scanned anyway), I think it looks
alright , though a little too podgy around the face, it could do with more detail too I think.
















And these are the paintings , that i've attempted to do of myself. Ive done a few more than these
but they turned out really bad so im not going to show them haha




This is my first proper attempt at a self portrait (well actually my second but the first was a diasater!!)


It looks preety simple and it is, there is nothing really excting about it in the pose or the way i've
painted it, but it is ok for a first try I think.















This is a recent one I did, messed up the skin tones so it looks like I have many bruises on my face,
also my eyes are way too big. So not very pleased with it at all!!!








This is the 2nd recent one I did, preety happy with it even though it was just an experiment. This time
I painted a black outline for the face, this made it easier to define the features of the face, im preety
happy with it , it's ok for just trying out a new method.















And my most recent one, a self portrait of me in my green coat (The one I always paint in actually!!)
I did this in a similiar manner to the last , that is I used black lines as an outline, but this time they
were much thicker black lines. Im preety happy with how it came out, but again, it needs more detail and
I need to define my style further.
