Hmmph... trying another self portrat, this time from a funny photo reference. I'm using a mirror for colors since the photo's black and white.

Pleas give me critiques, comments and suggestions. Thanx, all.

Great start... but your nose is straight in the photo, and leaning far right, in the portriat. I just said this to another guy... in your image editing program, flip the image horizontally, to see how extreme you're tendency to lean your lines, is.

I think all have this natural tendency... it may have something to do with being raised to read left to right. It also may have much to do with what hand you draw with. Maybe it's the warped nature of a right-brianed lifeform? Ha.. who knows, right?

Good luck... again.. good start!

[edit]Also, the eye to the viewer's right, is too exaggerated. I thought this was what you were going for, until I read you were doing this as a portrait, and not a caricature. The eye to the left seems nearly dead on... the entire right side of the face should be a compliment to the left (our right, our left). From the middle point of this portrait you're doing, the entire head leans right.[/edit]
