Because of a challenge by Beverly, I decided to try a self portrait. It is drawn on a newspaper sketch pad. I have never attempted this before. I always say I can't draw people. but thanks to Beverly I decided to give it a try. It does look a little like me I think. Then I thought it might be fun if this has not been done before to invite all of you to post one of yourself. The post your art room was so much fun and enjoyed by so many. So chose your medium and do a self portrait.
Thanks

This is an exercise we did in art class I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. It is not a self-portrait. Thanks.

This is really a good painting...lots of emotion here. Come on which one, the one cleaning the glass right?

There is just something about the eyes that are so pretty...I like it a lot and think you are on your way to doing great portraits. Very nice work.

I think it's a very good and honest portrait Kyles, extremely strong, amazing eyes.Having just spent ( I don't know how long now!!) ages working on mine I know how hard it is. I'll post the latest version here. I posted the start way back in the forum.

Hi all,
Thought I'd get in on this too. The first portrait was done about 8 years ago. The last two were done last year. I don't usually look that miserable. =D
Cheers,
Kyles =)

my second comment is that I can't get over how REAL they look. What did you use for the dark background color? And the fish are just glistening!

The painting is lovely,I think what might be bothering you is the large dead tree on the left.Imo it is competeing with the duck for the viewers attention,but if the client is happy with it...no worries...btw perfect frame for the scene.
