2 in a Row!

This pic was a happy accident. I don't know how or when I even took it.

Here's today's self portrait. If you are concerned that I am depressed and angry due to my expressions in these self portraits don't be. I am drawing from a mirror and apparently this is my focused face.

Self Critique: The lips are a major improvement from the last drawing. In fact all the whole drawing is molded much better. I put more time into this one and that allowed me to notice more shapes and gradients in both the shadow and light areas ( not that they're perfect). The eyes seem a bit large and dark. I noticed that the eyes are looking in different directions so I tried to fix it but it was impossible. Each eye was looking that way in the mirror. My left eye is the strong one and my right follows suit. Hence the eye on the left is looking straight at you and the one on the right is looking down. Crazy.  Anyway I do see a resemblance. Hopefully one of these times I can get myself to look slightly pleasant in the drawing. I tried but it's hard to hold that same expression the whole time. No wonder old photographs contain angry looking people. It's easy to look angry. Ha.
