Well It's a new year~ I still have things to catch up on but I also have made some challenges for my self for 2011~
side note - One of my eyes is smaller and thinner~O.o I never noticed that really until drawing this~
If you feel like it go ahead and tell me what I could improve on~ These are just meant to be studies... but I would still like to know what I'm doing wrong~
That's a really great project! Not only are you going to be drawing/painting everyday, but you're drawing from life. I'm sure you'll have improved greatly by the end of the year. Have fun sticking with it. 8]
i thought its just another random male drawing~soowee the left part is great though the other half isn't. yeah, one of your eyes is thinner and smaller.....but thats ok...me too experienced it before and my first self portrait on oilpastel turned so so not good...(it looked like a male version of me...-<...but the good thing is you're trying to improve everything in means of drawing much better drawings in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i don't know if this will help: try to sketch it first and try to view your sketch from a far (but not so so far) then see what part that doesn't seem to be good when looking at..then make adjustments Color your drawing after the scanning procedurehehe
------sorry for my English..maybe i have to practice more(its not a bad start for a new year)
I need to work more on my self portraits because they don't really look perfectly like me but I'll be doing more so I can keep learning~ I'll try that trick of looking at it from farther away next time~ Thanks as always for your help~
you're welcome...i know you can make it...and i'm glad i could help.. me too still needs to practice my English, i'm glad to hear(i mean read) that my English is fine. thanks!
Good luck with the challenge Self portraits are the hardest to do so it should be very good practice. Even the sketches will help improvement. It's great that you noticed the differense in eye shapes. the smallest details in portraits can make all the differense.

I really hope I can keep up doing something everyday~
