Description

This is a somewhat 'quick' picture, and admittedly not on a grander scale... but it's the only self portrait I've ever made that I've felt represented me. It's 'me', and I thought I'd share :]

Mirror referenced rather than from a photo, so you'll have to take my word for it resembling me ;]

Cool painting - great eyes - and good lighitng. It's nice to see a "quicker" painting from you. That's it, I need to do more figure work... But maybe not a self portrait!

Its a very nicely painted portrait. The bruschstrokes makes the skin "real". Refreshing. Beautiful.

shoulders are funny, it's like the head wasn't attached to body. Face is well done as usual. Light makes hair look a bit waxy, but hey, maybe your hair is wa.. no wait..

I like the colors though

"Hormonal voting - Producing a pic of a very, very beautiful female subject and saying it's a self-portrait. Yes, it works of you're a man, too - it's the internet after all, and no-one needs to know the truth...right? (If you vote for this type of work solely in the moronic hope of getting a date with the artist, I hate you.)

I love how the style is a bit more...loose... than your other stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love your art... there's just something I like better about drawings not being... photorealistic... If I wanted something to look like a photo... well, I'd take a photo... ^^;;

It looks good, she's elegant but kind of moody with an edge. I like the loose painterly feel. Great work.

You look pretty pissed,great colors,eyes,hair,it's good except it looks like the head is sitting on an object, not the body.Somehow I feel like a student snapping at his teacher...good stuff.

You are both beautiful and artistically talented beyond the dreams of many. You should feel joyous in your triumphs, and gratefulness that life has dealt you so much beauty, while the rest of us might have to work diligently to produce a modicum of the same. You are blessed. Use your blessings wisely. (*hops down from soapbox*)

Perfect - short sharp strokes which give it that edgyness. You look suspicious :] I love that lighting and the purple tones.

heh. looks like you have a lot of admirers. I like feel of the painting. You did very well at capturing attitude and the colors seem to reflect the same expression. Although I have to agree that the shoulders seem to take away from the painting. They do not have the same depth as the face. +7

Thank you, everyone :]

It's really mainly a sketch, or a quick painting at any rate, so I doubt I'll go back and change anything... but for the record, I totally agree with the comments regarding the shoulders. When I reached that part of the painting, it was 6AM something, and I was just sick and tired of it - and hoped no one would notice

It's all mirror referenced, by the way, no photos used to look at this time around. I felt I got a more interesting expression that way.

Very cool. I'm new here and I'm impressed by the caliber of ability displayed in the galleries. That's a very convincing piece. It's a perfect marriage of realistic representation and stylized expressiveness. Can you give us some further insight as to the process? You say you used a mirror? What media/applications/software were involved?

Excellent coloring here. I like the contrast of the skin-tones and the blue light. I do think the shoulders look kind of flat, but, look at my work: who am I to criticize flat tones? :)
I also like the hair, something that I can never seem to get right in my pics. Excellent job here, if that means anything from an amateur like me. :p

the mystery here is that you drawed after a mirror, and your pic is looking the other direction that the mirror. hon är snabb

My favourite of yours. Very impressive looking, and I'm glad you didn't use a photograph for your references.

Personally, I would have blasted a load more saturation in there. That's just me. I probably would have killed it.
