Hi, i never really drew before. In college had a Drawing I Class. For final we had to do a self portrait from a photo. I re did it four times, here are the last/best two. I realize im not a PRO or talanted as all of you guys, but wanted to know if any of them any good and should i keep trying to learn to draw or stop waisting my time.

For the first attempt at a self portrait this is very good. Definitely keep drawing...but if you decide to keep going make sure you prepare yourself for the task ahead. Frustration at every corner...you got to love it. From this I can definitely tell you have the base skills but now the only thing that will elevate you to master status is years and years of constant study and hard work. Keep drawing and posting on here.
