11 minute speed portrait,
when I finish these I dont always see myself in the finished piece, Lots of them are ofted Idealized, some are self deprivating . sometimes they reinforce the stranger I am trying to uncover.....

but I see myself in this one. it feels more honest to me that most.

have a life Drawing class this Quarter,, so Look for some
pastel work in the Guest self portrait thread from me...

Nice Focal Point on the nose

Andrew, this is excellent, you captured a hell of a lot of expression in the eyes.

Amazing what you can do in 11 minutes...that is so inspiring...in 8 hours I can't get it to look like me...in 11 minutes you capture emotion. Very inspiring Andrew.

[Jason Manley]

if you drew yourself 200 times you would be able to get a lot done in 11 mins too!!!

hard work begets skill.

the chinese definition of kung fu is skill learned through hard work.

I don't know if you take suggestions or not, but I was thinking after reading your post on this one, if you drew yourself as you see yourself ideally. If you were to look your best what would you look like in your eyes? Maybe you have already done this, I can't recall (so many!). Just a thought I had, wondering how you view yourself at your best.

I will listen sensai...I will learn the secret of the iron wrist. I will snatch the grasshopper from your hand one day.

i relly like how the lines are so expressive, i like the slight smirk too. it shows alot of character. this is probably one of my favorites. it has alot of feeling. the perspective is nice too.
