Oooh, I really do like the lighting in this. It gives it a very eerie tone. It looks like you're just sort of appearing out of a shadow. Lord, that would scare me...

Self portraits are good from time to time.. In my case they make me realise what person I would like to be and what I really am.. And then I can find the ballance between those two - a compromise between reality and visions of myself. Sometimes it can help if drawing is really the way you can express your real self.

And this self shot.. Well, I really like it.

haha yeah they're often not very flattering! I usually only end up doing them when I can't find anyone else to draw :(

Yup, I have exactly the same ';problem'.
The selfs I do for myself and hide them somewhere on my hard drive are not flattering at all. They mostly show the truth. But it seems that the imaginary vision of myself was stronger than the reality.. Recently it changed. And I've changed as well. What's kind of positive I think. So eventually 'not flattering yourself' becomes the most flattering thing in art you create :)

yeah true. Don't you hate it when people ask you to draw them, and unless the drawing you do of them looks like a super model they get really pissed off? Grr.

That's why I don't do portraits for money. That would be a real horror.
I sometimes dare to portrait some of my friends though. Because they can't get pissed at me ;)
