That looks fantastic, Wayne. The level of detail is superb.

Nee73–excellent color choices. Very nice SP.

Wayne–your SP feels great. Everything seems right on.

A small self portrait. 8×8″, acrylics on canvas. Not very good or photo realistic, but it does look like me. wrinkles and all

Nicely done, Connie! I find it tricky to get the full grin- you have managed it so well.
I am guessing photo? This would have been hard to maintain in a mirror.

Thanks Bethany. Photo indeed. I too find the mouth, especially open, more difficult than eyes.:)

What great work in this thread! I posted this probably 2 years ago when I did it, but since you asked whether we had done one in the past I thought that it would be ok to re-post it. Its graphite on white paper. I’ve been thinking about doind another one soon.[IMG]http://s3.amazonaws.com/wetcanvas-hdc/Community/images/14-Jan-2011/207742-Self_Portrait_by_mnsrc.jpg[/IMG]

This is “awe-mazing!!”

Hello!

I’m currently working on a project- I’m attempting to do a self-portrait every single day for one year. It has been very interesting (maybe more so for me than for anybody else but I appreciate any and all feedback).

I am on day 93 and if you would like to see my progress so far I have made a video (up to day 84 I think). I have also been blogging daily and posting my efforts on Instagram.
