Self-portrait

This is the first of many people sketches I'm making to fill my sketch book for my CalArts portfolio submission! This is the first self portrait that I attempted to do with looking in a mirror and using NO photo reference. (it was terrifying o__o). While it's not perfect, I'd say I did a fairly decent job. I'm definitely seeing improvement at least. ^o^

Anyways, I'll be submitting my final portfolio either in November or December. Once I've done that, I'll be posting many of the pieces I complete for the portfolio to my deviantart. I can't wait to show you guys everything I've been working on!
