Description This self-portrait was created with the following tools:
Windsor and Newton Brushmarkers - Sky Blue + Forest Green + Purple (The forest green was dried up a little)
An assortment of random coloured pencils
Standard graphite pencil

So, I have had some funky hair for a little while now so I thought it was time to draw a new self-portrait. Faces are getting easier to draw, but this was still pretty tough. I decided to draw outside in the sunlight to help me see, and after a while, it got a little windy. Also, my eraser (which I used extensively since drawing faces is hard XD) was dried up so it didn't work very well (I've thrown it away FYI).

The hair looks as it should, and I'm not unhappy with the face either. I'll show you the photograph I was working with to give you an idea of where I went wrong with the proportions.

Only practice makes perfection. Not bad at all.

Very true, and this is one of my better works. I think the main issue is that the left eye isn't forshortened properly. Cover it up with your hand and the face looks much better. So, foreshortening on the face is somthing I can work on
