  • Marvelous portrait. Working from a mirror is so much better than from a photo— its the real thing. (But it sure doesn't look like you're 40! 29, maybe—)

  • Thx Sam, 41 now alas, I should now paint an update

  • Wonderful ! I tried to do a self portrait once - in pastel - but found that as I was going through the day - the light would change in the little mirror I was using - it was hard to get consistency hehe -- you did a great job !

  • Thanks Lucieb, it was very challenging and I think my stern look tells how hard I was finding it !

  • Those are not "guys": they were aliens :-)

  • Awesome work. It turned out great.

  • Thanks Sycra, as you can see I struggled a lot with drawing: from a mirror one cannot measure, also while observing a feature you don't realize you are actually moving away from the original position.

  • I know exactly what you mean. I think painting self portraits has got to be the hardest thing to do. Dunno how guys like Rembrandt and Valesquez did it.
