I approve, and I ain't even a duchess.

...You need to make a blog approval for this name. Seriously. (And give it to me for watching Tutu)

When you blog about Tutu, you shall have such an approval stamp.

I need to pick up on continuing Spice and Wolf, though. (Not very far along, but it's definitely interesting so far)

Not sure why I did not expect a self portrait when I read the entry title in my notifications... but awesome! =D

It's a well-done drawing, and the shading on the nose is spectacular. You're definitely better at portraits than I am. ^^

Was it done with a mirror or a phtograph as reference?

The nose was a bit tricky (mine tends to be shiny), but the hardest part about this was eye location (again) and hair shading (specifically the lighter parts).

I was making faces in the mirror when I decided to take a few pictures with my phone, so I used that as a reference (more still and all).

Thanks!

Eye location is evil and veeery easy to mess up - even with the use of guidelines. :/

The hair looks good, though!

Ah yes. I see. Though, attempting to draw yourself from a mirror is a fun exercise too, even if the expression ends up as a slightly unsettliong mixture of every face one pulled while looking at oneself.. Gee, now I want to do that again.
