Nancy, I just started working with charcoal a few months ago. Have done maybe 30 portraits to this point. Don’t give it up. Here’s one of mine that is in the group shot above…

Hey Bill this is awesome– did you use white chalk for the highlights?

Geeze… step away for a couple of days, and miss all kinds of stuff! Nora, Bill, Sally (hope I didn’t miss anyone) really fantastic SPs! Here’s an up-date (possibly finished) on mine!

Let me know if you see anything that stands out!

C&C ALWAYS welcome & appreciated... Thank you! Jean

This is from a picture I have. I made myself look younger but hay, It’s my portrait. 14×16 oil. It took about three day’s to complete.

THANK YOU, Jean!

Is yours from life, a mirror? I like the casualness of our posture, and expression – very much. I’d add eyelights and say voila!

Bobbie, good, sparkling lights! I confess to leaving out the age spots and wrinkles on mine, but, why the heck do I want to put all THAT mess back on me?!?

I was happy to find charcoal sticks here, but they are rectangular, and I could only get each mark to be in an 1/8 of an inch proximity of where I was aiming.

Jean : Looks great agree about highlights in eyes and maybe in your hair. I love the patten on your shirt. Good job.

Bobbie: Nice one. Might as well look good if you are going to do a SP!

It’s been really fun and insightful to peruse this whole thread. Self-portrait is such a personal thing, and all the different approaches and styles have yielded so many amazing results here. (I think artnlife‘s was my very favorite!)

It’s also fun to see how many of you have adopted your self-portraits as your avatars.

The thread made me interested to do my own, but I just don’t have the time right now. I just wanted to mention how amazing all y’all are. Keep rockin!

Thanks Sally! Yes, it’s from life, for the most part. I did take a pic of my hand and use it to get it right, though.
