Here's my finished self-portrait. I'm quite happy with it, with an exception for the eye on the left (my right eye), something about it just bugs me.I'm finding the timing of this drawing funny. I've looked like this for almost two years. Long, crazy hair, it's been somewhat of my trademark since mid junior year (of high school). But in the middle of the drawing, heck I wasn't even in the middle of it yet, I just cut my hair off. I have short hair. Short hair. It's weird, I still don't recognize myself in the mirror. So to be finishing this self portrait and not even look like that anymore is just slightly amusing to me. I see this drawing as farewell to my long hair, and a partial farewell to the me from the last two-three years. Not that I don't like who I was, I just feel the need for a change, adventure is calling me.

How beautiful! But I am sure the new you is of equal merit! There is something so refreshing about new hair. It's such a good quick fix for the soooul. Like art.
and how it pulls together so well.
it is funny how this selfportrait is no longer you. maybe your new look deserves a more non-traditional portrait.
The attention to detail in the hair is amazing. I'm glad you drew it before you lost all of it, for the sake of the piece. Though I'm sure your new hair will yield equally stunning sketches.
yeah i was gonna say about the hair too.
Thanks everyone! I'm quite liking the idea of a second a self-portrait after I get settled in at home.
