Learning to Draw - Day 28 - Self-Portrait

Description

Before this I hadn't drawn in 11 days, so decided to get back into it.

This is my second attempt at a self-portrait. The first can be found here: joshuamatulin.deviantart.com/a…

I think this drawing is more accurate than the first one (at the very least, the ears are at the same height); but at the same time I recognise myself less easily in this one than in the first one. I can't put my finger on why. My face also looks slightly effeminate in this drawing, but again, I can't figure out why.

The chin is slightly off-centre, and I think I made it too round (whereas it was too sharp in my first attempt) and too big. I think the shape of the nose is pretty accurate, but I'm not satisfied with how I drew the sides. My eyes are also slightly different shapes. The lips look pretty weird too.

This page took me 51 minutes to draw, which is more than twice the amount of time it took me to draw the first one (22 minutes). I don't think I've actually improved at all since my first attempt - I just spent longer trying to be careful this time around.


Any feedback will be appreciated.
