Painted this for a self-portrait thread at another board.
It's got a tonne wrong with it. The left side of my glasses is kinda fucked, the shading around the neck is clumpy and outlining the eyes was a bit ridiculous. The light-source looks rather jumbled and I'm not too happy with the shading to show the facial structure, it's a bit too outlined around the nose and lips.
Other than that is' perfect ! Roffle.
It's in acrylics with a little bit of touching up in pencil and took about 3 hours.

For the love of Moses please don't just post throwaway statements about it. If you hate it, say what would make it better, if you like it then say why. I want to get better, not absorb praise, my ego's already sufficiently large.
For reference: this is me (
